A couple of things worth knowing with any tennis ball: the felt coating is mildly abrasive, so heavy, prolonged chewing can wear at a dog's teeth over time — use it for throwing and fetch rather than leaving it down as a chew. And pick a size your dog can't fit fully into their mouth: 6cm suits small to medium dogs, while larger or powerful dogs are safer with a bigger ball, as one that's too small can be a choking risk. Always supervise play, check the ball regularly, and replace it if it splits or gets damaged — swallowed pieces can cause a blockage. Keep fresh water available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThrow it further with the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/play-time-for-dogs-tennis-ball-launcher\"\u003eAncol Playtime Tennis Ball Launcher\u003c\/a\u003e, or for water fetch see the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/ancol-extreme-floating-ball-dog-toy\"\u003eAncol Extreme Floating Ball\u003c\/a\u003e.
