Unfortunately, all this comes at a price. Like the West Paw Jive, this is one of the most expensive tennis ball alternatives on the market. But included in the price is a replacement guarantee. At the time of writing, Planet Dog will replace the toy once in the event it fails. While this makes the price more appealing, you will cringe if you are on a tight budget. Some have cut-outs that make it easier for your dog to breathe when returning the ball in its mouth… I’ll also add that the solid rubber design is surprisingly heavy, especially when compared to a traditional tennis ball. If you have a smaller dog, such as a Chihuahua or Pomeranian, then this ball is likely too bulky. Let me be upfront… I recommend squeaky dog tennis balls with reservations because I noticed a pattern during testing. After chasing down a ball, dogs bit down on it and realized it squeaked. They became more interested in chewing on it than returning it, effectively ending the game.

We reviewed each tennis ball for durability, quality, ease of throwing and suitability for different breeds. All to answer a simple question…While most tennis-ball-swallowing incidents are not as newsworthy, I found many reports online from other dog owners who had similar experiences. We love rubber glow in the dark balls for nighttime “glow ball” with the nerf tennis ball launcher. I think their by chunkier not not sure.

We all know that dogs love chasing after tennis balls. Not only are tennis balls inexpensive to buy but they have plenty of bounce for a fun game of “fetch” and are easy to find when lost due to their bright yellow colour. Throwing a tennis ball for your beloved pup is a great way for him to exercise as well as a beautiful bonding experience between pet and owner.

They float, which means that your dog can fetch the ball in your pool, in a lake or even at the beach… Tennis balls are the quintessential modern dog toy. My dog can sniff them out of roadside ditches, and nothing gives her as much joy as chasing after them in a wide-open field. However, tennis balls are a special toy in our household, reserved for supervised playtime.
