tennis balls

All staffies seem to love tennis balls dont they. people we know who have staffies all seem to say the same as well My other half seems to think its because they can exercise there jaw with them.Them just being right size for there mouths.We are going to purchase some at weekend for milly.It just might keep her out of mischief for a while...Well Hopefully....And pigs might fly

keep her out of mischief for all of 5mins if shes anything like mine

My dogs love tennis balls but after 5 minutes there are only little pieces of what once was a tennis ball. Any kind of toy only becomes a mess after a few minutes. I bought them an Unbreakoball but they dont like it because it cuts there mouth. So the only thing besides a frisby is rawhide bones.

Violet likes to attack the ball&tear all the fluff off of it. Then I need to spend half an hour picking the fluff out of her eyelashes, her whiskers, her eyebrows, her toes, her teeth...

She is especially mad for the swingball set - basically a tennis ball on a string attached to a pole. We bat it and she spends ages chasing after it - doesn't realise she's too small to ever reach it!

I have bought frisbees for mine they always seem to break them.But it may Be down to the price the ones i have bought they have only cost around 70p and its just been thin plastic.Ive never come across a good quality one for them if i had they would have one i spoil them so much.the kids say i spoil them more than them

This is the one I have for Moo she is only allowed it as an outside toy and has only ever had 2 (my fault one got left in a pub garden). P@H near me do them, and I use there other chew toys too, seem to last a lot longer than anything else I have used

Maybe i should try pets at home for a good quality frisbee.I love there buttons and bear products they have for pups.I got milly a button and bear food dish when she was a tiny trouble is we dont use it now she eats far more now.I got her a place mat in buttons and bear,But ive had to throw it Away she kept wanting to chew on it.

I bag a bag of tennis balls from poundland, but now within about 5 mins he's eaten one, so the bag doesn't last long!

Hi ella
ive noticed you live in sheffield we got milly from sheffield

We got an orbee ball from planet dog for Sophie and she loves it. It's like a tennis ball, soft but a bit more durable though we do still watch her when she has it.

Suki loves them but they last less than a minute.

Hahahaha, don't worry, she makes a mess of other stuff instead

I love roxys ears on the avatar pic

LOL.......Roxys ears are her trade-mark. They do some weird and wonderful things at times.

vinnie and skye love the Kong Tennis ball's that squeak haha, vinnie runs around squeaking em' and skye try's put her jaw isnt strong enough haha!!

Milly has got a teddy bear the squeaks.When she was younger she didnt have the strength to squeak it she has now.She drives us nuts

Just rescued this 'tennis ball' from Violet. Have replaced it with a new one, but she's just stolen the old one back

Yeah Molly loves to play fetch with her tennis balls but if you dont get her back and drop the ball quick enough its a gonna, literally within 30seconds.

But we just buy them in bulk so when one gets broke to a point where the ball chucker wont work we can just use a new one.

Prob get through 5-6 tennis balls a week lol, but play fetch twice a day everyday of the week normally so thats not to bad I suppose.

great pic Linzy! Why do they always prefer the old broken ones to a shiney new one, gotta love them!!

well Winston loves playing with a tennis ball but the trouble is if I don't hide them from Jethro , Jethro makes it his mission to try to defluff and then destroy it as soon as possible !

Luckily I had bought a pack of 4... there is one left. I am a slack mummy and forget to hide them when Jethro is outside playing!

Haha thats exactly what Cairo does.She spends hours peeling off the fluff,then one bite and its popped lol

i don't give tennis balls no more, my amstaff did played with a lot of them, she has square teeth, im i wrong or the fluff is abrasive?
