There are several footballs designed especially for dogs, with rope handles so your pooch can easily join in with the football fun.
You can kick them, throw them and even play tug with them, a fantastic way to mix up your usual trip to the park and get some much-needed exercise.

IT'S the start of a new year and we're always full of good resolutions whether it be to lose weight, get fit or just hit the great outdoors a bit more.
During our current situation, now is the perfect time to get out there with your beloved pooch.
There are so many different activities you can enjoy together. Here are just a few of them?
Swimming with your hound
SWIMMING is great exercise for dogs as well as loads of fun!
It's a fantastic cardiovascular workout, plus it builds strength, improves mobility and the resistance of the water gets those muscles working hard.
It's also a great way to burn off any extra energy.
In fact, just 30 minutes in the pool is equivalent to taking a twohour walk!
For dogs with stiff or painful joints, or those that are particularly overweight, swimming is especially good as it doesn't put pressure on their joints.
Now you don't have to make a day trip to the beach in below zero temperatures to take your dog swimming. There are pools for dogs all over the country. Just one of those places is Paws In The Pool based in West Sussex, where your dog can play in a warm, safe environment and owners can join in with the fun too.
Having a paddle with your pooch is not only good exercise for you both but a great way to encourage them to swim, help build confidence and strengthen your bond. Prices start from £20 for a 30-minute session. Book your dog in at pawsinthepool.co.uk.
