Question from DogLover2
Hi there, I am wondering what is a good throw toy for my dogs. I normally tennis balls, but lately I am suspect of their smell. I bought hard baseballs, but they chew them up, and the hard toys at the dog store aren’t very fun. So my question really is – are tennis balls toxic?
Debra’s Answer
Tennis balls are made of a hollow rubber ball, covered with a thin layer of adhesive covers which holds a layer of felt-like material made up of wool and artificial fibers.
The part that smells is probably the adhesive or the ink used to stamp the name on the ball. Depending on what these are made of, they may be toxic.
You might try looking on natural pet websites for dog toys made of all natural materials.
