KONG SqueakAir Balls, Large, 2 Pack

A gentle felt squeaky fetch ball that suits retrievers, not dogs that chew balls apart.

The short version

Buy it if
  • Dogs that love fetch and respond to squeaky toys
  • Owners who want a gentler felt than a standard tennis ball
  • Medium to large dogs in KONG's 30 to 65 lb range for this size
Skip it if
  • Your dog chews balls apart rather than chasing them
  • Your dog is bigger than the Large size range and needs the X Large

What owners like

  • The squeak keeps many dogs interested in fetch
  • Softer felt is a reason owners pick it over standard tennis balls
  • Holds up well for dogs that mostly chase and retrieve

Common complaints

  • Not built for heavy chewers, who can damage the felt and squeaker fast
  • Some dogs fixate on killing the squeaker instead of playing fetch
  • Picking the wrong size raises a swallowing risk

Based on KONG's product page for the Large 2 pack, the PetSmart listing, and an editorial review on Dog Toy Choice..

What it does

A two pack of large squeaking tennis balls for fetch, now sold by KONG as SqueakAir Balls (the current name for the KONG Air Squeaker Tennis Balls).

  • Tennis ball shape with a squeaker inside
  • KONG says the special felt will not wear down a dog's teeth like regular tennis ball felt
  • Built for fetch and interactive play
  • Several sizes so the ball can be matched to the dog

A good pick for dogs that love fetch and squeaky toys, with a felt that KONG says is gentler on teeth than a standard tennis ball. The trade-off is that it is a fetch toy, not a chew toy, so dogs that sit and gnaw on balls can wreck the felt and squeaker quickly.
