Dogs see fewer colours than humans. While we have three colour receptors, dogs only have two, meaning their vision is especially sensitive to blue and yellow. 


Other colours can be more difficult for them to distinguish. Zeus NITRO toys are vibrant yellow and speckled with blue to help dogs easily spot and retrieve them in different environments.

Zeus NITRO dog toys are designed to be extremely durable yet gentle on your dog’s teeth. Hard toys can put excessive pressure on a small surface area, with a risk of causing serious harm such as dental fractures. 

In comparison, Zeus NITRO toys are much more flexible, so the bite force is more evenly distributed and absorbed by the material, reducing the risk of injury. Their flexible material gently pushes back against your dog’s bite for engaging, tooth-friendly play.

Many dog toys are far too heavy or too light to be thrown or launched effectively. In contrast, Zeus NITRO toys are ideally balanced, with some specially weighted using a natural rubber core to help each throw cut through the air more effectively.

The toys’ unique properties make them well suited to games of fetch and active play. However, the NITRO Buoy should only be thrown by adults due to the safety risks associated with throwing heavy objects.
