Older adults are a special group because they are particularly vulnerable to the negative effects of substances and therefore substance misuse. Further, providers, professionals, and family and caregivers tend to overlook substance misuse in older people, meaning they are less likely than younger adults to be correctly diagnosed and offered treatments, services, or referrals. This oversight makes SUDs particularly dangerous for this population in terms of possible effects on mortality and comorbid conditions (including physical, cognitive, and mental disorders). This TIP is designed to help providers and others better understand how to identify, manage, and prevent substance misuse in older adults. This publication describes the unique ways in which SUD signs and symptoms manifest in older adults; drug and alcohol use disorder (AUD) screening tools, assessments, and treatments specifically tailored for older clientsÕ needs; the interaction between SUDs and dementia and other cognitive disorders; and strategies to help providers improve their older clientsÕ social functioning and overall wellnessÑboth of which are critical to successful recovery. A consensus panel developed the TIPÕs content based on a review of the most up-to-date literature and on their extensive experience in the field of geriatric alcohol and drug addiction treatment. Other professionals also generously contributed their time and commitment to this publication. This publication is an update of the original TIP. The content addresses many of the same key topics and messages, as well as new ones. Revisions reflect the most recent scientific knowledge, clinical advances, and guidance pertaining to preventing and treating substance misuse among older adults.

Tough Dog Balls. Bright Orange/holes for treats
Color: B) 3" 2-Pack (Bacon)
I used to buy Starmark. But their balls got smaller and tore more easily. The color was green. I couldn’t find it when it was dropped in the grass!! Soooooo, I took a chance on this cuz it had holes in it and was bright orange. It is not scented at all or its bacon scent faded. The ball is for strong chewers. I’m a petsitter and I needed tough balls for my clients dog. Shipped quickly. Good price. Exactly as described

Flavored Dog Rubber Balls
Color: H) 2.5" 3-Pack (Beef), Color: H) 2.5" 3-Pack (Beef)
My dog absolutely loves these balls, I have a few more I had already bought, but she has an addiction to them so I had to buy more. I am able to squeeze these really easily so when she does pick them up after I’ve thrown them they’re very easy for her to pick up. They have a good thickness to them so it’s not too flimsy. It’s pretty tough and they bounce pretty high which I like and so does she know she is an aggressive chewer, but I haven’t had an issue yet with her chewing right through these, which is why I like them and we both love the fact that it smells like beef I could practically smell them through the bag, but I have a really high pitched sense of smell, and I knew she was going to love them. Not to mention you can’t beat the price.

Love These Balls
Color: H) 2.5" 3-Pack (Beef), Color: H) 2.5" 3-Pack (Beef)
These are great balls. My Border Collie can destroy a tennis ball in a couple of hours and the Kong brand ball is heavier than I like to play with in the house. These balls hold up to her biting and chewing but are lite weight and softer for bouncing off the walls.

Seems durable - but the scent is not the best
Color: B) 3" 2-Pack (Bacon)
I don't know if I'd call the scent of this "bacon," more like rubber with a hint of bacon. It's very strong. I gave my dog one of the balls & put one in a cabinet where I keep his treats & a few other unrelated odds & ends. I now hold my breath when I open that cabinet b/c good lord, the smell. I'm tempted to just give that one to the dog too, just because it'll air out eventually & then everything else in that cabinet won't smell bad. My dog feels so-so about it. He'll briefly chase after it & chew on it, but loses interest in it pretty fast. My rather hyperactive cat also plays with it from time to time, as he seems to have more interest in most dog toys than the dog these days, so there's that. (Then again, he thinks a wide variety of random items around the house are loads of fun to toss about, so it's possible his opinion is to be taken with a grain of salt. Between the brief periods of one of these balls being chewed on & clawed at, it's stayed completely intact. I think if you have a dog who simply likes to play fetch or chew on rubber balls in general, this one would stand up to the task. But if you're expecting it to be greeted with the enthusiasm as a bacon grease covered ball might be - I'd adjust your expectations.
