Race&Herd Wins 2025 Pet Innovation Award for Dog Toy of the Year
Race&Herd’s Baa Baa Ball has been named the 2025 Pet Innovation Awards “Ball Rope Product of the Year,” recognizing our leadership in innovative, enrichment-driven dog toys.

Why the Baa Baa Ball Stands Out as the Best Dog Toy
The Baa Baa Ball is more than a cute design. It is an interactive dog toy engineered for durability and instinct-driven play. Built for active breeds and family pets alike, it blends tug, chase, and herding-style engagement to keep dogs mentally and physically stimulated.
Key Features That Drive Results
- Interactive rope loops for tug, retrieve, and controlled play.
- Instinct-inspiring character design that encourages natural chase and engagement.
- Durable yet gentle build that withstands rough play while staying easy on teeth and gums.
- Enrichment for mind and body to reduce boredom and support better behavior.
- Trainer-informed development aligned with canine cognition and safe play principles.
