My 11 year husky has no interest in tennis balls, but the other day there was this one old man with a bunch of chicken broth dipped tennis balls and she played, and chewed with the ball and everything! If your dog loses interest in a bone that you gave him, smear peanut butter on it. Great to keep a dog to stop barking.
Please comment!

Please be aware that the "fuzz" on tennis balls can sometimes actually build up in a dogs intestinal track and cause complications, but more to the point, these can have a detrimental affect on the dog's teeth. The tennis ball fuzz is very abrasive and can wear teeth down to the nerves. Also, the chemicals in the ball can have a harmful effect on tooth enamel and its been reported that the dye used can sometimes lead to cancer. A regular rubber ball would be a safer bet.
