Chuckit says it glows. I say it glows… and lives to tell the tail. 👇

Chuckit! toys test your pup’s power—can yours survive Thor’s Rottweiler-worthy chomp test?

Can the Chuckit! Glow Ball Really Survive the Wrath of a Rottweiler?

What happens when fetch meets fang? Welcome to the chew test no toy wants to fail.

Chuckit!—yep, the brand humans rave about—says their Max Glow Ball is perfect for tough play and late-night fetch. But let’s keep it real: have they play-tested it with a 50kg Rottweiler who treats tennis balls like croissants? That’s me. Thor. And this is the story of a glowing ball, one big jaw, and the ultimate fetch showdown.

I remember the moment Mum unboxed it. The glow was glorious—like a mini moon. She was all, “Let’s save this for after dinner walks!” I was all, “Let’s test it right now in the lounge.”

The First Five Minutes: Intrigue, Chase, and Slight Drool Leakage

Hoomans, let me tell you—the Chuckit! Glow Ball bounces higher than your New Year resolutions. It doesn’t just glow—it pulses with possibility. Even indoors, it lit up my senses like bacon on a Sunday.

And the grip? Divine. Unlike sad smooth rubber toys that vanish into slobber chaos, this ball has a texture that practically says, "Go on, gnaw me—but not too hard." So I did. A few respectful chomps. Some rotational biting. Nothing aggressive... just investigational.

Glow Power vs. Chomp Force: Who Wins?

Now, to be fair to the ball, it’s not designed to be a chew toy—and Chuckit! says that loud and clear. It’s a glow-in-the-dark fetch companion, not a sacrificial lamb. But I may not have read the label. I’m a dog; I read vibes, not packaging.

Still, after a week of backyard missions and hallway zoom-ambushes, this ball’s glow still charges fast under the porch light. Five minutes of charging equals 30 minutes of sci-fi fetch. Not too shabby, Chuckit! Not too shabby.

For the Curious Hoomans: Here’s What You’ll Love

  • No Batteries: Zero cords, zero wait time. Just light it up under a lamp or sunshine.
  • High Bounce: This ball doesn’t just boing—it launches like it’s auditioning for space travel.
  • Dog Approved Size: At 3.5 inches, it’s big enough to avoid a choking risk, but still easy to grip during a chase.
  • Night Fetch Magic: Glows green like an alien snack. Visibility? 10/10. Drama? Also 10/10.

Buuut... Is It Rottweiler-Proof?

Let’s sniff some truth. After a week of testing, the ball did get some bite marks. I didn’t split it, but it’s not flawless anymore—kinda like your favourite sneakers after a muddy dog park dash. Still performs, still safe, just... lived-in.

This isn’t a 24/7 gnaw toy. It’s best used in high-energy bursts, not left in the bed to become a midnight snack. So if you're a hooman who thinks "toy = babysitter"—this one's not your match. But if you want to crank up the joy during walkies or backyard play, you're barking up the right tree.

"It makes bedtime fetch a thing. My dog gets zoomies at 8pm and now we can play outside without tripping over the hose." — Karen N., dog mum and backyard torch-hater

Outcome: Fetch Glows On, Jaw Be Gentle-ish

This toy isn’t a chew tank—it’s a light-up legend. Use it how it’s meant to be used, and even a big-jawed Rottweiler like me gives it two paws up for nighttime play and bounce joy.

And let’s be honest, hoomans—chances are your furry kid isn’t packing Thor-level chomp. So yeah, the Chuckit! Glow Ball? Totally fetch-worthy. Just keep it for the chase, not for the chew-fuelled existential crisis I call “rest time.”

Until next playtest, big wags and brighter fetch adventures,

Thor 🐾
