Editorial Review

Sticks and tennis balls: two canine favorites, brought together at last. This versatile plaything feels like a tennis ball in a dog's mouth, but it grips and tugs like a stick. The goofy, unpredictable bounce is tailor-made for epic games of chase, while an attached, heavy-duty nylon rope contributes to the tugging and fetching fun-and adds some distance to your throw, to wear out even the most tireless stick junkie. Great for retriever training, this toy also floats, for hours of fun by land or by sea. The Air Kong fetch stick is made in the USA from durable, high-quality tennis-ball material. Unlike typical tennis balls, however, the non-toxic felt covering on an Air Kong is specially designed not to wear down dogs' teeth as they play. The large stick measures eleven inches long and is recommended for larger breeds, such as German Shepherds, Rottweilers, mastiffs, and some Labs. –Mary Park
