Fetch on grass is straightforward; fetch near water usually ends with somebody wading. A foam ring changes that calculation, because it floats. Throw it into a lake or a slow river and it sits on the surface waiting to be collected, and the same low density makes it bounce off in unpredictable directions on hard ground for a dog who likes a target that will not behave.

It is moulded from TPR foam, a rubbery material that gives under a bite rather than resisting it, so a determined dog can grip and pull without the toy going hard against the teeth. The surface is textured for grip, yours as much as the dog's, which matters in a tug game with wet hands. At around 185mm across, it is a big enough hoop for a whole jaw or a hand to pass through.

• TPR foam construction that flexes under a bite
• Floats, so it suits water retrieves
• Textured surface for grip in tug games
• Around 185mm across
• Four colours: green, yellow, rose red and orange
• Bounces erratically for chase games on hard ground

Worth knowing. That was simply wrong: this is a dog-sized fetch and tug ring and a cat has no use for it. Bite-resistant is also not the same as indestructible. Foam is a fetch material rather than a chew material, so take it in after the game and replace it once chunks start coming away.

Who it's for: Dogs who swim, and owners who want a single toy that works at the beach, the river and the park.
