Highlighted Reviews

β€” Peggy

"If your dogs chase balls into lakes etc buy these. The bright colors are a lot easier to find in the water. A bit expensive BUT we don’t lose them as often."

β€” Jess

"Bought for my 4 year old German Shepard who loves to play fetch. 1st ball lasted 1 play session (10-15 throws)"

Bottom Line

If you're looking for a tennis ball that will last through multiple play sessions, you may want to consider other options. It is enjoyed by dogs and is functional, making it a good choice for owners looking for a cheap tennis ball for their dogs.
