"My dog breaks tennis balls in about 30 seconds. So far so good with these!"

— Misty

"I ordered this 3 pack in small tennis balls, but they are not small, they are regular tennis ball sized, so if you have a small dog, mine is an 11 pound Chihuahua Shih_tzu mix, they will not be what you are looking for."

Bottom Line

While the GoDog Retrieval Ultimate Balls are durable and fun for larger dogs, the size issues and varying durability make them a mixed bag. Smaller dog owners should look for alternatives.
