Love All and Have a Tennis Ball!

To celebrate the ongoing US Open, I'm rounding up the first round thing to come to mind . . . tennis balls, obviously.While I already shared a pricey bed, most of you opted to pass for that tennis creation but still want to let pets have a ball! North loves the extra small Air Kong versions 'cause they're super squeaky and fit him perfectly. (He usually tears all the fabric off a normal doggy tennis ball to use the frays to fetch 'em since they don't fit in his mouth.) Since he's pretty darn destructive, I'm shocked how long it takes him to kill the squeakers in this version — they sometimes last a couple of months, which is an eternity in his chompers.

I've gathered up some extraordinary tennis balls for doggies and kitties so check 'em out in the widget below.

Does Your Dog Have a Favorite Tennis Ball Size?

Let's get the ball rolling in '09!

Let's get the ball rolling in '09! It's important to have the right tennis toss for those wintry afternoons of catch with your pet. That's not to say all animal sizes won't get a kick out of the standard ball, but the small tennies are more catch-worthy for lil mouths where they could be a choking hazard to the big dogs. From teeny tiny ones (usually 1.5-inch in diameter) to the super sized (5-inches in diameter), which ball do you think your pooch would like best?

Are Your Pets Frenzied Fetchers?

North would definitely chase what I throw (or stomp) for him, but it often turns into tug o' war/keep-away to get it back to re-toss.

North would definitely chase what I throw (or stomp) for him, but it often turns into tug o' war/keep-away to get it back to re-toss. How about your pets? Do they freely fetch, sometimes test it out, or simply wait for you to bring it back like a civilized person?

Bare Bones: Best Balls

Dogs love toys. North likes almost any kind of ball he can get his teeth into.

Dogs love toys. North likes almost any kind of ball he can get his teeth into. But other furry creatures love playing with toys, too! Gerbils and mice love to get out of the cage and explore the world in a ball of their own. Even rabbits get in on the action with this Rabbit Maze ball that jingles — keeping them occupied and chasing it around for hours. Hey, they need exercise too!
I've gathered the best-sellers; the most popular and fun balls for all kinds of furry animals. Check them out in the widget below!
