Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I learned recently that traditional tennis balls are too abrasive for dogs' teeth. Hence this purchase. While Kong has addressed the abrasion issue, these "tennis balls" are otherwise very poorly designed and constructed. First, the felt covering is not secured well to the underlying rubber ball. My dog partially ripped the felt off all three balls in this set within the first play session. Second, the rubber ball underneath is not a solid, one piece ball, but composed of two pieces glued together in the middle. As you can imagine, with a little chewing, the seal splits and you're left with the two pieces. In other words, the traditional white-colored tennis ball seam you see wrapping around the felt is surface layer only and simply decorative. The ease with which these balls have the felt detached and split into two smaller pieces make this an extremely dangerous choking hazard. Please see my photos above before buying this dangerous toy. All owners need to monitor toys for damage and discard them when appropriate, because no toy will last forever. But the fact that these balls can be destroyed literally upon first use makes them a complete waste of money, in addition to the choking danger.
