Fetch and repeat is a favorite game for many frisky pups. Now even though his mouth waters when he sees the ball (and will happily run wherever you toss), it can be hard to continue play after nightfall. But not with this toy.

While I'd recommend tossing (in the garbage) any tennis balls with signs of fraying or peeling rubber, it's a good idea to wash those you'll be keeping this season. Think of all the dirt from endless games of fetch and throw them in the washing machine with some towels and pet-safe detergent.
After the fuzzy balls are cleaned up, you can air out or pop them in a dryer for a special trick.

It's a swirly whirly universe with toys that are out of this world! Check these gigantic, galactic orbs sized for dogs 65 pounds and up – they get four out of five "chompers" and are the perfect fit for those big mouths. As with other offerings from Planet Dog, the Cosmos collection ($16) includes a minty smell (taste?) and a Treat Spot for stashing a healthy snack.

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.

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?

Here's yet another way to chuck a tennis ball without actually throwing it – time to use the power of da' feet. The Ball Stomp'r ($12) features a launch tube that fits a standard-sized ball and when you step, it soars up to 100 feet! If your dogs love to fetch and your throwing arm works about as well as mine (read: not good), this could be a nice option .

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!
