Can I recommend Dunlop tennis balls?

Not sure why but They last for ages. I get them from sports direct in a pack of 3,can’t remember how much exactly as it’s been so long since I bought any!

He can strip a normal ball in about 30 seconds, even the tough indestructible ones 🙄, these seem to by unstrippable meaning he can play with as a ball rather than a destruction toy

Be careful with tennis balls unless the dog is really small - they can easily choke on them and I know someone whose GSD died this way

I agree it’s definitely worth buying proper tennis balls , the cheap ones don’t last 5 minutes . We use either Slazenger or Dunlop mainly and they last for ages .

There are also some issues around the rough surface wearing down teeth

Chuck It ultra balls appear indestructible here, highly recommended. They've been going for months in the mouth of a ball junkie and there's not a scratch on them

costa don't worry, i don't throw them towards him so he can catch them, only ever away so he chases and has to retrieve them. My friend had to extract one from a friends dogs throat once that was choking.

Hate seeing people thrown balls up in the air for their dogs to catch, makes me wince.

Even if you throw it away it can rebound and he can catch it - better safe than sorry
