Tennis Ball Product Alert!

    Tennis Ball Product Alert!

     I saw this on the website for my Agility facility, thought I'd share.

     Product alert! There are tennis balls made by Tretorn called "Tretorn X" that contain an inert substance which presumably helps with the bounce. However, when the dog pops open the tennis ball while chewing, the substance makes a terrible gooey mess in their mouth and presents an aspiration hazard. I was made aware of this by a client who's dog had a bad experience with just such a tennis ball. Here is a picture of one exposing the material inside.It seems that the material is non-toxic. However, it still presents a potential injury problem. Make your friends aware!

    Hmm the pic is not showing BUT if you copy paste that link above you can see the tennis ball, slit open, to see the 'stuff' inside.

    Yes, thank you. That is gross. I would HATE to see my dog with all that stuff in it's mouth.
