Dog toy ball Hagen Zeus Nitro with rubber core, size S (5 cm)

Hagen Zeus Nitro with rubber core, size S (5 cm) is a compact dog toy ball designed for fetch, chew and training. Its 5 cm diameter and rubber-centred construction combine bounce with a resilient outer surface to suit small to medium dogs. The product is intended for interactive play sessions, reward-based training and short solo play under supervision.

Advantages

The rubber core delivers reliable bounce for predictable retrieval games while providing greater resistance to chewing compared with lightweight foam balls. Its small size (5 cm) is adapted to smaller mouths and enables comfortable carrying during fetch. The ball is lightweight yet sturdy, making it easy to throw and catch and minimizing the risk of injury from hard impacts. The simple rounded shape allows consistent rolling and straightforward handling during training exercises.

How to use

Use the ball for standard fetch and retrieval games by throwing it a short to moderate distance and encouraging the dog to return it. Incorporate the ball into recall and reward-based training by offering it as a reward when the dog completes commands. Supervise play sessions, especially when the dog chews the toy, and limit unsupervised access if strong chewing is observed. Inspect the ball regularly for visible wear, tears or exposed core material and replace it if damage is found.

Usage recommendations

Choose the S (5 cm) size for small to medium dogs and monitor chewing intensity; for very aggressive chewers consider rotating toys and replacing damaged items promptly. Clean the ball periodically with mild soap and water and allow it to dry before reuse. Store in a dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve material integrity.
