Buddy's Glow Ball

Rocky loves his toys and balls are a big hit with him. It doesn't matter if it's a tennis ball, racquet ball, baseball... He loves them all. Baxter on the other hand couldn't be bothered to even sniff one.

I bought Rocky a Buddy's Glow Ball years ago (before we added Baxter to our family) and then the product was pulled from the market. I have seen it since it was discontinued, however not very recently. 


Buddy's Glow Ball is a durable rubber ball that glows in the dark.

In the years that Rocky has had one he has yet to even put a dent in it. If given the choice between this and a tennis ball he will always choose the Buddy's Glow Ball. I have even caught him letting the ball roll under the bed, something that he doesn't do with other toys. He will wait for a few minutes after it has gone under the bed and will then dive in to get it. I think he does this just because it glows!

It seems that Buddy's Glow Ball has been discontinued by Sargent's Pet Product's Inc. (Sargent's bought over Sun Toys  - the makers of Buddy's Glow Ball) and they have replaced it with two products called Zoink! and Powzer, both of which I have heard are not nearly as durable at Buddy's Glow Ball.



Note: Amazon seems to still have stock of Buddy Glow Ball and they also have stock of "Fetch & Glow Balls" (Large and Small) which are made by American Dog Toys and claim to be the same as Buddy's Glow Ball.
