Size wise, is the 3" version about the same as a tennis ball? I want something that my dog can hold without issue, but also not be able to swallow.

Yes. It was no match for my one-year-old German Shepherd mix. He does love the larger one.

It's slightly larger... maybe about the size of a softball? It depends on the size of your dog. In my opinion it's better if your dog can't pick up the ball and carry it with ease because if it is able to do that, then it may be able to chew it and break it as well. The ball is meant to be nudged and pawed at so that it rolls on the floor and dispenses treats.

This ball would be great for both of your dogs' sizes (this ball is as big if not bigger than a soccer ball) - but I would actually say it has to do with the shape of their snout/nose/ jaw if they could grip it to carry it around or fetch. My dog was about 17kg, too and he loved it but he chewed it apart. My 20 pound beagle/dachshund loved it and could carry it around just fine - more of the beagle mouth than dachshund.

I think the center of the ball is probably the size of a hard ball. They are soft enough that my terrier can pinch it to pick it up but it is mouth size for our lab who has forsaken those round throw things for this new favorite.

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.

It is very close to tennis ball size.. It has a hollow slot thru the center, perfect for a treat, which also makes a wind noise when the ball is thrown. It also is not smooth, which makes it take interesting hops, when bounced or rolled. My male cocker, 22 pounds, loves this ball.. It's his number one toy.

Yes, it is Tennis Ball size and easily the best ball we have ever used. Perfect for use with a launcher also.

It is the size of a tennis ball. So if your dog can hold a tennis ball, this ball will work for you.

The 2.5 inch Chuckit is about the same size as a tennis ball. The larger size is actually easier to hit with my baseball bat and my golden retriever/yellow lab named Chase (go figure) I think prefers the larger size. But the great thing about these glow in the dark balls, if you loose it, go out just after dark and you'll see it glowing!

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 suggest the 5". There's no draw back to getting a larger one. The toy isn't made to be carried around by the dog, but rolled and pawed around. Its lightweight, even with food or treats, so there's no worry about the bigger one being too heavy. Like others said, the larger one would hold more and would have less of a chance of being lost under things. Go big! =)

The diameter of the ball is 3". I don't have the box anymore, but it makes sense that the three dimensions you asked about are the size of the box since they represent a width, length, and height.

We have used it with a Golden Retriever. She also likes tennis balls. No problem with either.

Its a bit bigger than a tennis ball... More like a baseball. I'll take a picture of mine next to a tennis ball and see if I can post it.

Small enough where my 6lb shitzu-poodle mix can carry it around, so you're OK! It's a mouthful for her. I'd guess around 2 inches diameter.

No, not very well at all. Youd be better off buying one of those things made specifically for throwing tennis balls for your dog

I'd say its about half the size of an actual tennis ball. I bought the small for our husky pup. He's much larger now but still loves it!
