Val (Zebedee) Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 I gave Myshka a tennis ball as a pup, she shredded the whole thing in minutes, so that was the end of that! I now give them solid rubber balls, last more than a few minutes! Never realised the toxins in them, tho' ... great post, Mike, thanks, added to rep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Val (Zebedee) Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 Nearly half of pet collars had detectable levels of lead; with 27% exceeding 300 ppm  the CPSC limit for lead in children’s products. What type of collar? Mine have webbed harnesses, I'm guessing not in this but in the plastic-type or faux-leather collar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarahNukka&Shadow Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 Is this just in the US tho? Coz we dont have pet smarts over hear do we? Well Nukka's only ever had one tennis ball and that was in bits within a day so now she just has rubber ones anyways! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
