***This review is based on my own purchase. I have not been paid to review this item, nor have I received any incentive for writing this review. I am not affiliated with Amazon, Kong, or the seller in any way. *** These Kong SqueakAir balls are excellent value-for-money, and the only reason that I ever need to purchase new ones is because my parents' GSD drops one of the two that she carries around on walks, and it is never to be found again! Eventually, we run out of them and I need to purchase more! Firstly, the main reason that I buy these tennis balls is because they are non-abrasive. Freyja is absolutely obsessed with her tennis balls, and if we were to give her a standard tennis one, the abrasive microfibres would eventually start wearing her teeth down (I have seen this occur in several rescue dogs now). However, despite the fact that she plays with her Kong tennis ball several hours a day, and has done so over the last three years, I have seen no evidence of wear on her pearly whites whatsoever. The balls are also extremely durable and withstand several hours of Freyja every day. She runs around with them in her mouth, she throws them about, she chases them when they are thrown from a ball launcher, and she drops them in water - basically, this 38kg, giddy idiot puts them through their paces, and as yet, we have yet to experience any damage to the balls whatsoever (and no one wants damaged balls, do they?!). These balls also squeak, which is a marvellous addition, especially if you have a toy-orientated dog that you need to recall train. The squeak does eventually pack up in Freyja's balls after three-to-four months, but considering what she puts them through, I am amazed that the squeak lasts that long! The other fabulous thing about this range of balls is that they come in various sizes, so you can find the size which suits your dog. Freyja can easily hold the large ball in her mouth, but she seems to prefer the medium one because it is easier for her to squeeze it constantly whilst it is in her mouth!! The medium one is approximately the size of a standard tennis ball. I have also bought the x-small one in the past for my foster teacup Yorkie, and he looked utterly adorable carrying it around!! Some people have said that their dogs have destroyed these balls quickly. However, I would conjecture that these dogs will destroy any tennis ball - I had a foster that would rip one up in two minutes because she was determined to end its life! However, whilst Freyja is extremely vigorous with these balls, she does not try to rip or destroy them, and I believe that this is why we have not experienced such an issue. These balls are practical, durable, and make an excellent training aid, and I have no hesitation in re-purchasing them when Freyja loses them..... again!

A favourite with my Tibetan Terrier. She's very good at destroying toys, we are on our first ball and it still squeaks! Well worth the money when more expensive toys last 10 minutes!

Good quality

Brilliant little chew balls for dogs. They are soft but not to soft that you hear the squeak every time which is good as it can do your head in with some squeakers that are so easy to squeak. Dog loves them but I must say by a few as I dunno where they go lol but they get lost in house easy and I’m sure she’s not eating them haha 😆

These used to be far better quality and last far longer, the squeak now stops working after less than ten minutes

Great quality and my pup loves them.

Love these, I've bought so many over the years
