Tennis balls are bad for dog’s dental health. They are abrasive, and can wear down the teeth.

Unless they’re specifically made for dogs with different materials, like the one in the picture, but thanks for the tip.

Interesting, I wasn't aware of that. What sort of ball/fetch toy would you recommend then?

Not like our dog even plays fetch LOL, ours just looks at you stupid like 'why you throw that?' 😂

Some dogs are into it and some aren’t.

The neighbor lost a tennis ball over the fence and Rigby was in love.

I got him a dog safe one, supposedly, and he loves it just as much.

He’d have shredded any other toy by now.
