Warning: Tennis Balls from PetsMart

[kaycountrygal]

Oh My Goodness! That's terrible & sounds very unsafe, probably harmful to dogs or whatever else might touch them. I have a real tennis ball which I put in a long sock years ago, tied a knot so ball stays in it, & sometimes I throw it for the little dog or cat to bring back.

Thanks for the warning. Kay in NC

Yikes! Thanks for the warning Sandie! Santa brought tennis balls here. They're Kongs Air Dog. Of course they're made in China. The label says designed and tested in the USA.

I never heard of "flavored" toys. Sounds strange to me. Only tennis
balls I have bought for dogs are the ones used by real tennis players.
Glad to spread the word on these things, they sound like bad news.

We have the small tennis balls at the shelter but I believe they are not flavored. I'll have to check next weekend.
This is good to know. I also don't give mine tennis balls. But since we have tennis/racquet ball courts right over our backyard fence, we sometimes find one in our yard. Luckily neither of mine are very interested in them and surprisingly Taggart doesn't tear them up.

Thanks for the info. I will let my dog lover friends know.

One of my clients who has 4 rescue Goldens, buys a box of regular tennis balls from the tennis ball company. They're are only hit with a racket once and then sold.
