15 Dogs Who Love Tennis Balls More Than Wimbledon

Strawberries and cream, Pimms, BBG’s, A-listers including the Royals and a whole lot of white attire – just some of the things us Brits (and the rest of the world who tune in) go crazy for at Wimbledon. But it seems our pooches have a love of their own when it comes to this great sporting event!

Our furry friends are obsessed with the fuzzy yellow round things that they’ll not only chase, but also fetch, chew and sleep with – they’ll do anything they can to be with their favourite bouncy toy.

So as we cheer on our favourites (come on #SerAndy), let’s also celebrate the love between a pooch and their tennis ball(s) with 15 dogs who love them more than we could ever love Wimbledon.

1. I play ball, lick ball, and even dream ball…

If you’re snuggling up with your tennis ball-loving dog to watch the Centre Court action, make one of these DIY summer treats for your dog (including their very own Strawberry filled yoghurt surprise!). If you’re going to be part of the action, whether it’s a Centre Court seat or enjoying the atmosphere on Murray Mound, why not book your dog a trusted Rover sitter? We’re your all-day-(tennis)-ball-throwers after all!
