Bark Balls started with a simple idea: the tennis ball your dog loves shouldn't end its life in a landfill. Here's what that idea has added up to.
Tennis is a wonderful sport with a not-so-wonderful waste problem. The numbers are big — but so is the opportunity.
A tennis ball is "done" after a few good games — but it's got years of fetch left in it. We rescue those balls, inspect them, and put them back to work doing the thing dogs love most.
No complicated process, no greenwashing — just three honest steps.
We gather retired tennis balls from clubs, tournaments, universities, schools, and players who'd rather see them fetched than tossed.
Every ball is checked by hand for bounce and condition, then repackaged into a Bark Balls pack. The worn ones get sorted into our budget Ruff Pack.
They land on your doorstep as your dog's next favorite toy — and a portion of every order goes to a cause you choose.
Three ways Bark Balls keeps balls in play and gives back to the community.
