Pulled this off FaceBook -- Tennis balls with "filling" that can be a
problem for dogs (and small children, I could imagine). Sounds like
something similar to the stuff in Fix-a-Flat products:
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!
