Dental Tip of the Month Keep tennis balls on the court and out of your dogs mouth! The texture of tennis balls acts like sandpaper against your dog's teeth. Over time it will cause wear and damage to the tooth, which could result in pulp exposure, pain and infection. If this happens the tooth will need to be extracted or have root canal therapy. Acceptable alternatives to tennis balls include soft rubber balls and pliable kong type toys. |
