Material and Construction

The Fabdog Faball Lion is constructed with a 100% polyester plush outer shell wrapped around a solid spiky TPR (Thermoplastic Rubber) core. TPR is a flexible, non-toxic rubber compound that provides firm resistance without being rigid — making it suitable for moderate chewing and high-impact fetch play. The spiky surface texture adds grip and tactile engagement. The layered build — soft exterior over a structured rubber core — positions this as a moderate-duty durable dog toy that holds up through regular play while remaining gentle enough for dogs who enjoy carrying and mouthing their toys.

Texture, Size, and Play Duration Guidance

The outer plush shell feels soft and inviting on first contact, while the inner TPR ball is firm and flexible with a satisfying spiky texture. At 4" for the large size, this toy is appropriately sized for large breeds and dogs with a wider jaw span. Engagement duration will vary — dogs focused on fetch and squeaking will enjoy extended sessions, while aggressive chewers may work through the plush layer more quickly. Once the outer shell is removed, the TPR ball continues to function as a standalone fetch and chew toy, extending overall play life.

Play Style and Functional Use

Fetch Toy: The round shape and lightweight build make it easy to throw and retrieve. The spiky TPR surface provides grip for dogs picking it up mid-roll. The squeaker adds auditory reward on impact, reinforcing the fetch cycle.
Chew Toy: The spiky TPR core provides moderate chewing resistance and texture engagement. Best suited for moderate chewers — not recommended as a primary chew toy for aggressive power chewers.
Plush Toy: The polyester outer shell provides a soft carry and comfort experience. Moderate supervision is recommended while the plush layer is intact.

Safety, Usage, and Care Guidance

• Moderate supervision is recommended, particularly while the plush outer shell is intact
• Inspect the toy regularly — replace if the TPR core shows significant wear, cracking, or if pieces become detachable
• Select the appropriate size for your dog — the large (4") size is designed for large breeds
• Not recommended as a primary toy for aggressive power chewers
• Store in a clean, dry location when not in use

Cleaning and Maintenance

Spot clean the plush outer shell with warm water and mild soap. Allow to air dry fully before returning to your dog. Avoid machine washing or high-heat drying methods, as these can damage the polyester shell and compromise the TPR core. Inspect hardware and squeaker function periodically during cleaning.

A Note on Play

The Fabdog Faball Lion is designed to support structured, engaging play for large dogs who thrive on fetch and interactive toy sessions.

Durability will vary based on individual dog behavior and chew intensity — inspect regularly and replace when wear becomes significant.
