Tennis balls can be deadly toys.

These are digital x-rays of a dog who had swallowed a tennis ball during playtime at home. You can clearly see the outline of the ball in the picture on the left and upper right. It is lodged in the back of the dog's throat. Fortunately for him, it was not entirely occluding his laryngeal opening. He was able to breathe, but with extreme difficulty.

The picture at the bottom right is the ball, following removal of the ball while under emergency anesthesia. Our patient is doing well, but he was one of the lucky ones.

Tennis balls or other balls of a size, that may be swallowed can be deadly. If swallowed, they frequently block the air passage.

Please avoid using tennis balls as the consistency (size and softness) can readily lead to swallowing and often suffocation. We're always glad to talk with you about the best things for your pets, give us a call or come in for a visit.

Try walking on grassy areas.
If you can’t put the back of your hand on the pavement ( concrete or asphalt) for 7 seconds - it is too hot for your pups paws .
