Hi Friends,
Our Walker Vaughan here, lets talk about balls. Now who doesn't love a good game of fetch? Ah yes, the sacred bond between dog and man working together to keep the bouncing ball population under control. The thing is however, that not all balls were created equal. So if your dog loves balls as much as my friend Larry here, you are going to want to stay away from tennis balls.
The fluffy fibrous outer covering on tennis balls was adopted to improve the wearing and playing properties of the once all-rubber design. Another fun fact is that tennis balls were all white up until the '70s, but I digress. The problem for dogs is that the fluffy fibrous covering on the ball acts like sandpaper on teeth. So if you have a young dog, get him started on a rubber or squish ball, and if he is an old guy with a mouth full of ground-down and squared-off hippo teeth, make the switch and let him keep what he has left. Chuck-it and several other companies (like your local dollar store) have suitable alternatives.
