Size wise, is the 3" version about the same as a tennis ball? I want something that my dog can hold without issue, but also not be able to swallow.

Yes. It was no match for my one-year-old German Shepherd mix. He does love the larger one.

It's slightly larger... maybe about the size of a softball? It depends on the size of your dog. In my opinion it's better if your dog can't pick up the ball and carry it with ease because if it is able to do that, then it may be able to chew it and break it as well. The ball is meant to be nudged and pawed at so that it rolls on the floor and dispenses treats.

I guess it depends on how vigorous the play is, but my initial response would be "No, it's not good for a larger dog".The ball is a two-piece, fairly tough, semi-rigid plastic and I think a large dog might chew this up if he can get his jaws around it. The ball is around 3.5" in diameter. (The halves screw together but you can flex them fairly easily when apart). Cats on the other hand can't get a good bite on this, except for the attached tail.It'd be nice if there was a larger, more rugged version for bigger dogs. I can envision hours of play with one of these.

Wow, sorry I didn't respond earlier.... I see that others were more quick on the uptake thank goodness. But I don't think that this would work as a tennis ball. I think it's a bit harder and the bouce is a little different than a tennis ball's since it has the hole in the middle.

Please check with the manufacturer. I'm an amazon client, not the seller. Personally, I find this ball too small for a large pet.

It's a little bigger than a normal sized tennis ball so I guess it depends on just how small your puppy is. My guy is 75 pound pitbull so it was perfect for throwing and retrieving.

smaller is better....dog will not swallow as much water when retrieving as his mouth will not be open as wide

The diameter of the ball is about the same as a tennis ball...maybe a tad bit smaller. The balls are not hollow, they are solid rubber. Just want to say that these work so well for me, my husband, and our children that I bought two more for other family members! They have been so helpful!

The diameter of the ball is 2.75". Hope your dog enjoys it as much as ours does.

About 3" in diameter, as others have mentioned about the size of a baseball or tennis ball.

Yes, the large is about the same as a tennis ball, but tougher, the XL is, of course, slightly bigger. For our 140lb mix we like the XL size, but tried the large because of price, and they were fine.

These medium's are definitely smaller than a tennis ball. Wouldn't recommend for a large dog. The Large size chuckit is closer to the size of a tennis ball.

This one is about the same size as a tennis ball, maybe a tiny bit smaller.

I have a Medium Chuckit Glow ball and it is the same size (2 1/2" in diameter) as a regular tennis ball

Yes, it is Tennis Ball size and easily the best ball we have ever used. Perfect for use with a launcher also.

Yes it is bigger than the average chuckit ball. My lab goes through tennis balls like it was eating ham too.. Both my dogs are 75+lbs and they haven't been able to even rip part of it yet!!!! However they still like the tennis balls better even though they have this one.

Yes definitely, it is a very light ball and not as big as it looks. radius is appx 6.5 to 7 cm, similar size to a tennis ball, my lab fits two sometimes three of the same size into his mouth :)

Its a bit bigger than a tennis ball... More like a baseball. I'll take a picture of mine next to a tennis ball and see if I can post it.
