These are way cheaper than tennis balls - my dog can destroy one in about 15 minutes (compared w/ a few days on a real tennis ball). Do not recommend for dogs.

They can be chewed in half eventually. It's not like one bite and pop. My dog generally creates a puncture then rips it open.

It is just a tiny bit smaller than a tennis ball.It's made from rubber but is very hard and durable. My dog chews on it constantly and it still looks new a month later.

I have a boxer who loves playing tetherball. The ball has taken a bit of a beating but is still doing ok. I have already purchased a second ball just because she enjoys it so much.

That's exactly what they are! I buy them for my dogs just because they are nuts about tennis balls, but yes, just normal tennis balls. Other people answered their tennis suitability better than I could though.

I got this from another website where I first learned about Woolzies. This was written by a representative: "While we write on our web site that the balls are guaranteed for a year or 500 loads, the truth is that they really last for many years. You will know to replace them when after like literally several thousand loads, they have begun to get smaller in size and are not heavy enough to achieve maximum efficacy."

These medium's are definitely smaller than a tennis ball. Wouldn't recommend for a large dog. The Large size chuckit is closer to the size of a tennis ball.

They'r soft and do squeak. After some initial play, our ball had trouble re-inflating (we had to manipulate it back into shape). The material isn't as high of quality as the squeaky balls that come in packs of 4 at Petsmart. We have a Border Collie and this ball wasn't durable enough for her play needs.

I would look for balls that are considered "hard" ball pit balls, but even those may not workthese are "soft"

If your dog likes to play with balls, he/she will like it. Its very tough, bounces very well. I've had it for a while now and all three dogs, small to large enjoy it. It holds up extremely well.

Yes, all the details for Planet Dog items are online. This is BY FAR the best ball/toys for powerful chewers. Mine tear apart everything including kongs and cant even get a bite off one of these things!

any tennis ball works... we just rinse them off well when they get muddy at dog park.

Well . . . we have a young (1 year old) Golden Retriever (about 70 lbs) and he works on those balls day in and day out. He has never even made a dent in one of them. As far as we can tell, they're almost indestructible!

I would get the small one. The larger one is the same size as a regular tennis ball. It all depends on what size ball your dog is used to. My dog is a doberman and the tennis ball size is perfect for him. These balls are nice because they don't hold moisture or get as muddy as a furry tennis ball.

The ones I got were real golf balls; but there are also soft, foam I think, for indoor play. This is an excellent outdoor game for all ages!

Perhaps there are other versions available from Amazon. This one is small and only suitable for small dogs. I returned it, because I was concerned my dog would choke on it -- and because it would be destroyed in minutes, if not seconds. Smaller than a tennis ball, I think.

I'm a new customer, so this is just my opinion, but they are very similar to a balloon material-wise and shouldn't bother the dog. They may try to chew on them though and I don't think that would be good because the first pair I used started to tear from toenails after the second use...so I would worry that the dog may chew through them and swallow the material. If the dog wouldn't chew the material, they may work great for you.

This is not a hard ball. It is hollow with a squeak vent and a twine-like stuffing inside. There is a round 'spiky ball' that I've seen on Amazon that I believe is hard.
