Fabdog Faball Lion Small Dog Toy

A 2-in-1 Squeaky Fetch Ball Built for Active Play and Durable Engagement

The Fabdog Faball Lion Small is a cleverly designed 2-in-1 dog toy that delivers two play experiences in one. A soft polyester plush shell wraps a durable spiky TPR squeaky ball — so when the plush outer layer wears away, the fun continues with a tough, textured rubber ball built for nonstop fetch. Best suited for small dogs and moderate-to-active chewers that enjoy squeaky fetch toys with lasting play value.

Quick Product Snapshot

Why Pet Owners Choose This Toy

Material and Construction

The Faball Lion Small features a layered construction: a 100% polyester plush outer shell wraps a spiky TPR (thermoplastic rubber) squeaky ball core. The plush layer provides an initial soft, squeezable play experience, while the TPR core underneath is built for durability — its spiky texture supports chewing engagement and provides grip during fetch. The squeaker is embedded within the TPR ball, ensuring it remains functional even after the plush shell wears away. This is a moderate-to-heavy duty toy depending on the play phase.

Texture, Size, and Play Duration Guidance

The plush exterior is soft and squeezable, transitioning to a firm, spiky TPR surface as the outer layer wears with use. At 3 inches, the small size is well-suited for small breeds that can carry and retrieve the ball comfortably during fetch. Play duration is extended by the 2-in-1 design — the toy remains functional and engaging across both play phases. Supervision is recommended during the transition between the plush and TPR phases to ensure safe play.

Play Style and Functional Use

As a fetch ball, the Faball Lion Small is designed for toss-and-retrieve play, squeaky engagement, and moderate chewing. The plush outer shell supports initial fetch and carry behavior, while the spiky TPR core sustains chewing and textured play once exposed. The squeaker embedded in the TPR ball continues to reward fetch behavior throughout the toy's lifespan. This toy is best used for supervised fetch and active play sessions.

Safety, Usage, and Care Guidance

• Moderate supervision is recommended, particularly during the transition from plush to TPR play phase
• Inspect the toy regularly for signs of wear on both the plush shell and TPR core
• Replace if the TPR ball becomes cracked, broken, or the squeaker is no longer contained
• Ensure the 3-inch size is appropriate for your dog's breed and mouth size
• Not recommended for aggressive chewers who may break down the TPR core rapidly
• Store in a clean, dry location when not in use

Cleaning and Maintenance

Spot clean with warm water and mild soap. For the TPR core, rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely. The plush outer shell can be spot cleaned while intact. Avoid machine washing or soaking, which can affect the plush shell and internal squeaker.
