With several balls, play can keep going when one rolls under a fence or hedge.
Fetch gets a dog moving and gives the owner a daily routine to share with it.
A set is easy to split between the car, the house and the park bag.

What to look for

Match the ball size to the dog's size and mouth, and go larger for big breeds.

Check whether the balls fit a standard ball launcher if the owner uses one.
