WE LOVE DOGS
It’s our mission to produce products that pass our Quality of Life Test: products that contribute positively to your dog’s health, happiness and overall wellbeing & that help your dog to live their best life.
The Dog’s Balls were designed for retrieval games to satisfy and control your dog’s prey drive – the instinctive inclination to chase – while also providing them with the physical exercise they need to be calmer at home.
Playing a game of fetch is a safe and healthy way to curb the overwhelming desire some breeds have to chase smaller animals and moving objects such as cars, skateboards and bicycles.
Inspired by tennis. Made for dogs.
The Dog’s Balls are like tennis balls, only better: they have thicker sphere walls than that of standard tennis balls and are made to be robust retrieval toys. They’ve also been subjected to stringent tests designed for items that can be placed in the mouth, and we’re proud to tell you that The Dog’s Balls have been confirmed to be non-toxic and safe for dogs.
Quality is the keystone of our brand.
We want our products to meet both our high standards and yours, so we use premium materials to produce our balls and we’ve had the quality of The Dog’s Balls verified by two international third party companies specialising in inspection, testing, verification and certification.
We also conducted in-use tests with dogs ranging in size from toy breeds to giant breeds to make sure that we were producing balls that would be easy to use & long-lasting. We continue to maintain rigorous quality control processes to ensure that a product of the highest quality that stands up to the claims we make for it is delivered to you in perfect condition.

These were a step up from miniature kongs for our mini jack, I’m sure the wrong size were sent as they should have been medium sized but she was fine with them, they looked great initially but did seem a little crumbly inside after a short while.

Perfect fit for the Chuck-It small ball thrower. Much more durable than the small orange chuck-it tennis balls as well – these do not split on impact with the ground. Really impressed and much more cost effective too. Oh and doggo loves them just as much and she’s very picky about her balls haha

My little terrier seems only to like chasing blue balls. These are exactly the right size for him to carry and he likes the slight fluffiness, rather than smooth balls.

Below is a copy of my complaint followed by the sellers response. I know I have been fobbed off after reading other peoples bad reviews. My dog was not left with this as a chew toy. He destroyed them in minutes. My vet agrees they are dangerous. No offer of a refund either. Read on……Further to your request for feedback on the big dogs balls. I am really disappointed all three were destroyed within minutes between splitting and the yellow coating peeling off not to mention the smell of glue. Given the name you automatically expect these to suit “big dogs” but they dont. The product name and description is missleading. The glue has set off an alergic reaction in my dog and he has a full blown rash which the vet can only put down to the glue in the balls as the rash appeared within 2 hours of having these balls and nothing else in his food or environment have changed. I am furious that he has suffered like this. It has cost me £84 in vets bills.Sellers response…..I’m glad you got in touch although I’m sorry to hear that your dog has been unwell. I hope he is now better. I can certainly relate to how upsetting it is to see your dog who is a loved member of the family taking ill under circumstances that might have been avoided. I have attempted to address your concerns below. Firstly I wanted to reassure you that we did not release The Dog’s Balls recklessly. The Dog’s Balls have been produced using manufacturing processes that would be appropriate for an item that would be in a dog’s mouth, (taking into account the impact on the dog’s teeth and gums among other things) resulting in a robust, non-toxic ball. They are the result of extensive testing which has taken place under two conditions: We first had the quality of The Dog’s Balls verified by two independent companies specialising in inspection, testing, certification and verification. One of those is a company with a lengthy track record established in 1878, and which is based in Geneva. They were were tested in the category which measures the presence of toxins “in components of toy that can be placed in the mouth or childcare article”. We then carried out extensive in-use tests from which we gathered data to ensure that in real-life situations these balls would be fit for purpose. We tested balls with spheres of different thicknesses and different sizes for different breeds before settling on the specifications we have now. The vast majority of our customers worldwide – in hundreds of thousands of balls produced – have not have any problem introducing these balls to their dogs and so I am disappointed with your experience. In fact it would be more accurate to say that in many years of production we have never had a report of another allergic reaction or a dog becoming ill after playing with these balls. Regarding the glue, I’d like to apologize if the smell of the balls caused you alarm. Though its not normal for the balls to smell and they are entirely non-toxic as I have previously mentioned. The chemical smell comes from the rubber itself and is strong because both the ball sphere and the glue are made of natural rubber. However, this is not a result of chemical off-gassing and it’s possible the balls were boxed too soon after production. Thank you for letting us know and we will forward your feedback to our factory for their attention and action. If your vet suspects that the glue triggered your dog’s allergic reaction then it is possible that your dog has a rubber allergy (since the sphere and the glue are made of rubber) which is rare but not unheard of in dogs. Your vet might find it helpful to know that the glue we use is made of rubber. He may then be able to offer you additional information on how to manage this in the future. Going by the information in your email, it sounds like your dog had the ball for a long enough time to use it as a chew toy since he has managed to pull the felt off. The Dog’s Balls are not chew toys and were designed for retrieval games. Using tennis balls as chew toys is a choking hazard for dogs as the sphere splits into shards and can be accidentally swallowed. Vets recommend that tennis balls be used in supervised play and the dog should be encouraged to fetch, return and immediately release the ball. Tennis balls should always be put out of reach after a game of fetch, and no dog should ever be allowed to use them as a chew toy. The warnings on our retail card are consistent with this advice from animal health care professionals. As long as your dog is never allowed to play with the balls by himself and are used for retrieval games, the balls are safe to use and should last a long time. Once again I apologise for the unfortunate and distressing experience you have had and thank you for giving us the opportunity to address your concerns. Regards, Faye

Durable and Tuff
These tennis balls are super fantastic. My dog loves to play catch and carries the ball around in his mouth. He’s also a chewer but these seem to have met his match. Tried another well known brand and was totally disgusted. Never made it through the day. The rubber inside was so hard and brittle that it broke into pieces after several bounces. Let me correct this last statement by saying they hardly bounced. Was a waste of money. Will be purchasing more of these.

Balles de qualité
Ces balles correspondent bien pour un Chihuahua ou une Caniche de 9kgs (un peu petites pour elle). Les balles sont de qualité, elles rebondissent très bien et le tour ne s’effrite passer la balle ne s’ouvre pas en deux. Je vais en recommander car c’est rare de trouver des balles de cette qualité. Dommage que la taille au-dessus ne sois pas de cette couleur : ma Caniche ne joue qu’avec des balles de cette couleur.
