Portland, Maine (June 2006) – Planet Dog is proud to bark about the latest tail wagging addition to their popular Planet Dog Sport collection.  The new Pink Orbee-Tuff® Tennis Balls, one of their best-selling products in one of today's hottest colors, are made from the doggie-durable, bouncy, buoyant and mint-scented Orbee-Tuff® compound that four legged sports fans love.

Dogs are the greatest athletes on the planet.  Thanks to the innovative Planet Dog Sport collection, canine all-stars can demonstrate their skills with toys that capture the essence of human sports – but are offered in a size and durability designed for dogs.  Dogs will dig the new Pink Orbee-Tuff® Tennis Balls and their owners will be glad to have their own un-chewed tennis balls to themselves.  Sold in a classic 3-pack canister for a suggested retail price of $19.95, the Pink Orbee-Tuff® Tennis Balls (2 ½” diameter) offer all the slams, volleys and serves of tennis balls without the fuzz and vulnerability of regular balls.

The Pink Orbee-Tuff® Tennis Balls feature a Chew-o-meter rating of 5 out of 5 chompers, Planet Dog's strongest rating.  Like all Orbee-Tuff® toys, they are also non-toxic and approved by the FDA. 

They are even recyclable.  Planet Dog recycles 100% first quality Orbee-Tuff® material that would otherwise be discarded to make the Orbee RecycleBALL and BONE.  They are socially responsible too.  A percentage of every Planet Dog purchase goes directly to the Planet Dog Foundation (PDF) to promote and celebrate programs in which dogs serve and support their best friends.  For more information, please visit www.planetdogfoundation.org.

Planet Dog products are currently available at thousands of retailers throughout the U.S. and in Canada.  Customers can also order directly from Planet Dog’s retail website (www.planetdog.com) or by calling 800-381-1516.
