Highlighted Reviews

β€” Sabine

"Our dog is around 17 lbs and loves to chase these mini balls. She goes crazy when we pull out the toy that launches balls across the yard. These balls work perfectly with the Hyper Pet K9 Kannon Mini K2!"

β€” Joanne

"First off I had t throw one away immediately as the rubber inside split in half only the pink covering held it together. Then less then a week of my Husky chewing it (he is a medium chewer). The balls were split in half"

Bottom Line

If you have a medium to large dog that enjoys fetch, these balls are a fun and reasonably durable choice. However, be cautious if you have a small dog or one that chews vigorously, as the size and quality may not meet their needs.
