KONG - Squeakair Balls - Dog Toy Premium Squeak Tennis Balls, Gentle on Teethls - For X-Small Dogs (3 Pack)

These are a brilliant alternative to tennis balls and well worth the money. Tennis balls are designed for people, they are not great for dogs. I have a Staffie puppy and she'll destroy a normal tennis ball within a day. She'll rip the material off, the rubber outer rings and then start breaking up the casing, which she'll try to eat. If you have anything but a soft-mouthed retriever-type dog then you've probably seen this yourself. These Kong balls are still intact 2-3 months later. The squeak is going in one but she's still very happy to play with it. The other 2 are fine. The small balls are a very similar size to tennis balls and usable in a ball launcher. The squeak adds excitement for the dog and because they are squeezable, they don't break up when the dog chews them. So there aren't bits for her to swallow or choke on. I leave them out in the garden in all weathers and they're still in good condition (if a little dirty). I will definitely be getting more when these finally do wear out. I have a feeling that may be a while.

Brilliant little chew balls for dogs. They are soft but not to soft that you hear the squeak every time which is good as it can do your head in with some squeakers that are so easy to squeak. Dog loves them but I must say by a few as I dunno where they go lol but they get lost in house easy and I’m sure she’s not eating them haha 😆

***This review is based on my own purchase. I have not been paid to review this item, nor have I received any incentive for writing this review. I am not affiliated with Amazon, Kong, or the seller in any way. *** These Kong SqueakAir balls are excellent value-for-money, and the only reason that I ever need to purchase new ones is because my parents' GSD drops one of the two that she carries around on walks, and it is never to be found again! Eventually, we run out of them and I need to purchase more! Firstly, the main reason that I buy these tennis balls is because they are non-abrasive. Freyja is absolutely obsessed with her tennis balls, and if we were to give her a standard tennis one, the abrasive microfibres would eventually start wearing her teeth down (I have seen this occur in several rescue dogs now). However, despite the fact that she plays with her Kong tennis ball several hours a day, and has done so over the last three years, I have seen no evidence of wear on her pearly whites whatsoever. The balls are also extremely durable and withstand several hours of Freyja every day. She runs around with them in her mouth, she throws them about, she chases them when they are thrown from a ball launcher, and she drops them in water - basically, this 38kg, giddy idiot puts them through their paces, and as yet, we have yet to experience any damage to the balls whatsoever (and no one wants damaged balls, do they?!). These balls also squeak, which is a marvellous addition, especially if you have a toy-orientated dog that you need to recall train. The squeak does eventually pack up in Freyja's balls after three-to-four months, but considering what she puts them through, I am amazed that the squeak lasts that long! The other fabulous thing about this range of balls is that they come in various sizes, so you can find the size which suits your dog. Freyja can easily hold the large ball in her mouth, but she seems to prefer the medium one because it is easier for her to squeeze it constantly whilst it is in her mouth!! The medium one is approximately the size of a standard tennis ball. I have also bought the x-small one in the past for my foster teacup Yorkie, and he looked utterly adorable carrying it around!! Some people have said that their dogs have destroyed these balls quickly. However, I would conjecture that these dogs will destroy any tennis ball - I had a foster that would rip one up in two minutes because she was determined to end its life! However, whilst Freyja is extremely vigorous with these balls, she does not try to rip or destroy them, and I believe that this is why we have not experienced such an issue. These balls are practical, durable, and make an excellent training aid, and I have no hesitation in re-purchasing them when Freyja loses them..... again!

*** These are NOT the small size as stated in the description, they're the medium size!! *** I've purchased these "KONG" squeaky tennis balls for my dogs for 14-15 years. They've pierced the odd one or bitten the squeaker out very quickly but for the most part a 3 pack lasts 8 months out of each year whilst the weather is reasonable enough for playing fetch. My Jack Russell prefers the small size but these mediums will do for now until I can source some more in small again. The squeakers do tend to be the weak point & are usually the first thing to go but they're a lot stronger in general than they used to be years ago. These mediums are certainly thicker than the smalls are too. If a dog is determined to gnaw on them then they don't last 5 minutes but they do last longer for well trained dogs that drop on command. Saw these as addon items & immediately purchased some as my reserve was running low. Can't grumble for the price, more to the point my dog loves them. 4/5.

Excellent value nice and strong my puppy still hasn't managed to burst

1 happy customer, fits in her mouth for her to carry (17 week old 1.4kg puppy)

Great size little balls but the squeaks don’t work. I’m not 100% sure they are actually kong balls.

These are great for bigger dogs. I have a golden retriever/husky mix that is around 75 lbs. Regular tennis balls are too small for him and seem dangerous since they can possibly get stuck in his throat. So I searched for a bigger ball I could use to play fetch with him and found the KONG squeaker tennis ball. I heard KONG products are very good and never owned one before. This one is perfect, good large size and good quality. An added bonus is that the ball squeaks! My dog loves to squeak the ball himself. Also, this is a 2 pack so double the fun! My dog really enjoys playing fetch now and it is safe. The price is unbeatable. When I was looking around for a toy like this, I saw many other ones that cost over $10. For the price, this is a great deal and will provide hours of entertainment for your dog; worth every penny. The color is also nice because it is easy to spot, especially at the dog park! I highly recommend this to anyone with a large dog. I won't buy any other ball for my dog again. These are out favorite!

Our 10lb Pomchi Bailey Hope as you can see LOVES these mini squeaker balls! Shes been a ball dog since the first day she rescued us as a whopping 3lb baby at 1mo old. Funny how dogs are either ball dogs or they arent. haha Obviously regular size tennis balls are too big for her so these are the perfect size & in fact my 49lb grandoggy Kahlua prefers them too!! This makes them that much cuter & the pups love the noise. I LOVE that these are so durable & are the MOST durable, sturdy Ive found. They cant be torn, shredded nor can Bailey Hope pull the "fur" off, which she does with other brands. I think any size dogs would love these! I highly recommend these, the price is cheap but even if they werent its worth it since they dont ever have to be replaced...well until the pups lose them haha

These are now our dogs favourite toy. She'll carry them around the house and essentially play soccer with them all over the house by herself, or bring them to us to throw. When we throw all 3 at once she goes bannas trying to choose one to chase! The fuzz seems to be wearing off after a few weeks, though Mia is not being gentle with them at all. Sometimes flinging them down 2 stories just to try to race them to the bottom. She never wins btw, gravity is just too quick for her! Will be buying thee again as they wear down.

My puppy loved the micro version, as she grew we tried regular tennis balls. She didn't pay them ANY attention. I bought this larger Kong size and it's her FAVORITE by far. The squeak is what does it, we play with these SO much and they never fall apart. She's now learning to catch the ball in the air. Never tires of playing with these. LOVE

Grabbed the wrong size by accident - this is the super small size for puppies and teeny tiny dogs. Gifted it on instead of using it but the recipient was delighted.
