Did your pups catch World Cup fever too?  Thanks to Planet Dog's Orbee-Tuff Soccer Ball, they can now enjoy a safe, entertaining and socially responsible soccer match with their canine companions!  David Beckham and his bulldog Coco were recently spotted kicking one around in a Beverly Hills dog park.

"We were thrilled to see one of the world's best players enjoying the game he loves with his dog," says Stephanie Volo, Planet Dog's President. "The fact that our Soccer Ball is Beckham's dog ball of choice, is a true testimony to our commitment to providing dogs with the best and safest toys on the market," adds Volo.

The Soccer Ball measures 5” diameter and rates 4 out of 5 chompers on Planet Dog's chew-o-meter.  Like all of the Orbee-Tuff products, the Soccer Ball is non-toxic and made in the USA. It can easily be rinsed clean after playing.

The Soccer Ball features an opening that is not only wide enough for kibble, but will fit larger treats as well.  Fill it up and let your pack have at it for some kickin' good fun... Or, if your house is like ours, fill it up and watch one dog hog it while he stomps around knocking treats out all over the floor!  This is Teutul's favorite game and will keep him entertained for hours as long as there is food tumbling out...

Or until he looks away for a second and his sister swoops in to grab it and run away...

We're long time followers already. My pack likes to play soccer, baseball and football. They like to swim and chase each other all over the yard. Probably their favorite is splashing in the wading pool. Any time they can get completely soaked is a good time.

I have checked in on your blog periodically for awhile now, but I am now officially a "follower"!

My pup's favorite game is what we call "hide and seek and destroy puppy", which is really more of a hide-and-seek game. I will take her favorite tennis ball and hide it somewhere in the house (while making her sit-stay). Then I yell "FIND IT!!" and she instantly starts sprinting to go find it. She starts sniffing the path that I had just taken to hide it (I have to walk around a bit to throw her off!). Once she finds the ball, she prances around with it to show it off, and then starts throwing it in the air and pouncing on it (hence the "seek and destroy" part!) Then we start again for another game!

I must say though, she has figured out a lot of the best spots, so it is getting tougher and tougher to outsmart her!

I have been following for a long time privately (now I"m public), and I always enjoy the reviews. I often look for the products. I can't seem to find those Bamboo collapsible silicone bowls here, though. Anyway, Rava and Tawny (Teut's twin) love to wrestle over Green Dog. Green Dog has squeakers in all four legs, his head, AND his body. Things get quite loud around here when Smackdown begins! I know my babies would looooooooove a toy that has treats in it!

Sissy's favorite game is anything that allows her to leap and "mooo" - her own, strange bay-bark-howl sound. Gretchen's favorite game is get Sissy to chase Gretchen, but both enjoy a bit of fetch now and then.

I joined :-) My dogs favorite game to play is sleeping in the sun :-) She likes to play with toys too, she likes to tare the squeeky out :-)

we've been following for a long time.
the favorite game at our house is diving for the H2O discs. Sunny won't retrieve anything but her green ones. I had to buy her some new ones last week. Had to call the warehouse to find out if they had and would send just green ones :)

Great pics of the Dogs. Favorite games, stealing toys. Not a good thing when you are the dog that lost the toy. Really sad, when the cat takes the toys from the dogs during the night. This cat tried to carry around a raw potato. Never dull around here. Soccer ball looks like fun - not sure which dog would covet it the most. Another great review.
