what's a zap ball?

A zap ball looks like a plain red ball. You can see it in my picture a few posts up. But when you bounce it or it hits something, it will start a flashing light inside and also silly noises, one of them sounds like a phone ringing. The battery that runs these lights and noises doesn't last very long, but it is fun while it lasts. Cautionery note: If your dog is a chewer, the zap ball deteriorates fairly rapidly. Also I have bought several that were duds...that is didn't ring or flash. It is good to test them at the store before you buy them by kind of hitting the ball with your hand in the package to see if it lights up.
