My dog chews hard. Are lacrosse balls safe? What if she breaks it?

Question

Are lacrosse balls bad for my dog to chew on and play with? She is better with not so fluffy toys so I was wondering if it would be a good idea but worried if she breaks it up will she be okay? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Female | unspayed | 1 year and 11 months old | 56 lbs

I would be worried about chunks being tugged off and ingested, but if you regularly inspect the ball, it should be OK as long as its removed before it gets to a point where pieces could be eaten. Many pet stores also carry chew balls for "tough chewers" that are made out of safe, non-toxic material that may be safer to give as well.
