Glow-in-the-Dark Dog Balls for Dark Evenings

Chuckit! Max Glow Ball — Large

- Charges from any light source, no batteries
- Works with Chuckit launchers
- Needs charging before you head out — easy to forget

Common questions
How do you charge a glow-in-the-dark ball?
Hold a phone torch against it for 30 seconds, or leave it near a lamp or window for a few minutes before you go out. It doesn't need batteries or a cable — it just needs light.
How long does the glow last?
Long enough for a normal fetch session, but it fades gradually rather than switching off. If you're out for a while, a quick re-charge with your phone torch brings it back.
Is a glowing ball safe if my dog chews it?
The glow comes from phosphorescent pigment in the rubber, not a battery or a chemical stick, so there's nothing inside to leak. As with any ball, replace it once it splits, and pick a size your dog can't get to the back of their throat.
