Maybe because the ones sold in Pet shops are specifically designed for pets :smt102

I found the one's in pet shops don't last much longer than the normal ones, so the price is not really justified.

max is in a destructive stage he has destroyed all his plastic toys even the supposedly indestructable ones so i am sure he wouldnt waste much time on a tennies ball!!! and the answer to jennys question is because pet shops know how soft we are on our pets and will pay whatever they ask us to

I watch a bit of tennis, and I think that quality matters a lot.....

I hear the commentators comment on the balls.... So maybe that's why they arethat more expenssive.....

Sorry to be so boring
