"This toy is absolutely ridiculous in the most delightful way. The ball is slightly bigger than a tennis ball, but definitely smaller than a softball with good weight. It pops out of the soft stuffie square."

— keerstn

"We are not fans of this toy. Nothing squeaks, nothing crinkles. What's the point? The ball is cute - but it's hard, more like a rock than a tennis ball. It's the same size as a standard tennis ball, though - which is too big for my dogs (both 25-pound doodle-mutts)."

Bottom Line

The SpongeBob Tennis Ball Dog Plush Toy is a fun and engaging toy for some dogs, particularly those who enjoy puzzles and lighter chewers. However, it may not hold up to aggressive chewers and some dogs may not find it appealing. Overall, it's a decent toy for the right dog, but buyers should consider their dog's chewing habits and play style.
