Outward Hound Squeaker Ballz Tennis Ball Dog Toy, Medium, 2.5", 4‑Pack

I have these on subscription for my dogs and will continue buying them. I have a 90-pound Pit Bull/German Shepherd mix and a 20-pound Terrier/Chihuahua mix, and I love that they come in different sizes to fit both dogs. They love retrieving the balls, but they'll also play with them independently by hiding them under blankets or couches and trying to find them on their own. The squeaker is a huge hit—they love chewing on them and seem to think the squeak is a reward! Do they eventually tear them up? Absolutely. But for the price and the excitement they get every time a new pack arrives, they're well worth it. These have become a favorite toy in our house.

Good quality and dogs love playing with. Our dogs usually tear tennis balls up pretty quick but the quality was strong. One of the squeakers was destroyed quick but the outside of the ball was good. They are soft and a good size. Slightly smaller than tennis balls so our small dogs can hold them in their mouth and take them around with them.

This dog squeak ball has been a big hit in my home and keeps my dog entertained for long periods of time. The squeaker really grabs their attention and encourages play, tapping into their natural instincts to chase and fetch. My dog especially loves how it bounces and squeaks, making it perfect for both indoor and outdoor play. It’s lightweight and easy for them to carry around, even for quick games of fetch in the yard. In terms of durability, it has held up pretty well so far. The squeaker may not last forever with heavy use, but the ball itself still stays in good shape. Overall, it’s a fun, engaging toy that keeps my dog active and happy.

The little plastic squeaker comes loose and drops inside the balls VERY quickly. The balls themselves are poorly made: 100% of them split apart at their weak rubber seams after just one or two play sessions. That's it! That said, they are cheap and my little minpin mix absolutely loves them, so we usually have a few around to put in rotation with superior products (in my buyer's perspective) that last longer and squeak just as well (from my human-ear perspective).

We have 2 little dogs in our home - a 1.5 year old Pomsky, and a 9 year old Pekingese. My Peke has shown no interest in tennis balls for years, until today! Imagine my excitement! Until she promptly destroyed the first squeaker on one of the blue balls. When I removed it, she began peeling the logos off the ball, and then started tearing the fuzz off! My dog has never destroyed any toy in her life, so this was shocking! Then the Pomsky decided that she wanted to play fetch with the new balls - she has Golden Retriever energy - and decided to destroy a squeaker in the midst of playing! She also wasn't nearly as interested in these tennis balls as her other tennis balls that she inherited from my Peke. 1. STUPID design, with the squeakers sticking out of the balls (the don't sit flush), so they are asking to get chewed or pulled out by any dog, even elderly 10 lb dogs! And a 9 lb young adult. 2. They are difficult to squeak compared to their Kong tennis balls, hence why the Pomsky wasn't interested for long. 3. They don't bounce as much as the Kong tennis balls, either, which made them less than exciting for the athletic and agile Pomsky. Meh. We wanted to get the smallest tennis balls we could get (1.5 inch) because neither dog will play with the 2 inch or bigger ones, but we also wanted to get colors they could easily see! The Pomsky clearly prefers the yellow balls to any other color (red, orange, green, darker blue, watermelon design), so we wanted to get like a bright blue or turquoise couple of balls to appeal to them! Well, my senior Peke liked the blue ones the most, but also liked the red and orange. Pomsky didn't like the blue ones. I think they're too dark of a blue to be easily seen in our home afternoons and evenings in the winter. We love Outward Hound toys in our house, but these were an expensive FLOP. They are the right size, but WHY did they put the squeakers so visible and appealing to dogs? I've never seen the squeaker in the Kong tennis balls. My advice is that Kong seems to make the best tennis balls for toy breeds, in the 1.5" size. Outward Hound dropped the ball here... no pun intended. The blue is darker than the photos depict (may be better in natural sunlight outdoors), the squeakers are external, and they barely bounce at all. Our next step will be to get the pressurized bright blue tennis balls from another brand, in hopes that the bounce and visibility will outweigh the lack of squeakiness. If those don't work, I guess we'll stick to the classic neon yellow Kong tennis balls! At my local Target, they only have multicolor packs of them, and the dark blue, red and green get completely ignored. *Dogs can only see shades of blues, yellows and black, grey and white. While some dogs may not seem to care about color, our Pomsky clearly does. :(

I came to the comments to see if other dogs are obsessed with these balls like mine is, and sure enough they are. When I say obsessed, I mean that my dog will not be without one. She's liked other toys in the past, but nothing at all like this. She sleeps with her ball and carries it around everywhere with her. As I type this, she is sitting next to me with her ball at her feet - see picture. They seem to be hit and miss on how long they last, when she's really in a chewing mood she can get through one in under an hour, but for the most part she just wants it to be near her and thrown every once in a while.

Would have given five stars, except for one major issue the little squeaker pops out so easily not completely off the ball but pops halfway out, which makes me worried that she’s going to be able to pull it out with her teeth and possibly choke on it😢 now I have to carefully watch her every time she’s playing with them until I can find some other ones that squeak and are soft for her mouth that aren’t as dangerous. This really sucks cause she was so excited to get these balls and so was I. The squeak is not totally obnoxious so I don’t even mind her squeaking it while I’m watching TV or something and the ball is soft enough that she could loose chew it not to tear it up but just to get that chewing sensation which is great that’s what she loves

Perfect condition and size for my dog, boy she puts them through a real hard-core test. She had them for at least 1 year. I definitely recommend it. As with all good things and pets they where down. So having them last a year says it all. Shyla loves the balls they bounce real high also squeak really loud. Price is right.

it survived for only 20 min with my dog

A bolinha ótima e tem apito bem forte, que é sucesso aqui em casa

My dogs absolutely loved these, they didn't last long at all unfortunately, within an hour they where all chewed up and destroyed lol
