Two Salty Dogs Pet Outfitters is putting out the call for more used tennis balls. We are drastically low- we only have half a barrel left!

When you donate your old tennis balls to us, we then turn around and sell them to dog owners with fetch-crazed dogs. Then we turn around and give that money to Action for Animals and Old Dogs New Digs. Last year we were able to give them hundreds and hundreds of dollars because of your ball donations. But we can’t give if we don’t have them to sell.

So don’t throw them away. Throw them at play!

Drop them off at during business hours or just leave them (neatly) out back for us to pick up in the morning.

Thanks for donating!

    I hate to be party pooper of something nice for dogs, but they shouldn’t be giving human tennis balls to dogs, they need tennis balls specifically made for dogs.

    Human sport tennis balls have toxic components, quicly degrade to choking hazards, and the baize damages dogs teeth.

    As much as I love playing tennis, these balls should stay on the court and not in your dog’s mouth. These have an abrasive coating that is just way too rough on teeth! If your dog is only an occasional fetcher, they are probably okay. But for the obsessive ball players out there (Labs, Goldens, herding breeds), avoid tennis balls altogether and stick with a smooth surface ball.
