KONG - Flyer - Durable Rubber Flying Disc Dog Toy - For Small Dogs

Product Information

Which leads me to toy care. Every dog toy can break when not used correctly. A Frisbee is a fetch toy. It should only be used under supervision when playing fetch. You get a lot more mileage out of a quality dog Frisbee that has been designed with your dog’s mouth in mind. But it’s the gliding movement that makes a Frisbee a unique fetch toy. If thrown correctly, your dog can chase the Frisbee, leap, and grab it mid-air.

Despite being made from a heavy rubber, the Kong Flyer glides surprisingly well. In fact, out of all the rubber Frisbees we tested, we were able to throw this one the farthest – the shape appears to be slightly more aerodynamic than its competitors. Not with the Kong. Recently it's been made even stronger by the addition of a strengthening ridge inside the rim. Ours have now lasted several months and though they have many teeth marks, there are no holes. He added that because it doesn’t fly as far as harder discs, it makes the Flippy Flopper Frisbee perfect for tossing around your yard – and because it’s soft, you don’t have to worry about breaking a window.I’ll be straight up, compared to some of the other Frisbees we tested, the Flippy Flopper looks a little plain. It’s little more than nylon stretched over a rubber ring. It’s also suitable for throwing near water. If the Flippy Flopper lands in water, it floats on the surface until your dog swims out and retrieves it.

Many flying discs are about 9-10 inches in diameter, which is too large for puppies or small dogs. For smaller breeds, look for a disc between 6-8 inches in diameter. The most essential consideration is whether or not your pup can carry the frisbee in their mouth without it scraping along the ground. Given that this is a competition-grade disc and that it’s used in disc dog games, this accuracy was expected. When thrown, the nylon fabric expands and looks more like a dome than a Frisbee. Combined with its light weight, we were able to get some serious float time when thrown correctly – more than long enough for our dogs to leap up and catch it. AirDog Kong Toys: inspired by tennis balls, these tooth-friendly toys are as hardy as they are fun with squeakers in each one! They can be thrown far and wide, great for the dog that loves to fetch.

SIT. STAY. PLAY. LEARN ALONG THE WAY

The SodaPup Dog Frisbee comes in the shape of a bottle top. While we liked the fact that it was made from a non-toxic, biodegradable, FDA-approved material, it didn’t fly as well as the Kong. Before you rush out and buy your dog a Frisbee, you also need to consider your dog’s health. Playing Frisbee involves a lot of leaping and landing. If your dog has joint or hip problems, a Frisbee may not be the right toy for your dog – when in doubt, ask your vet! Types of dog Frisbees: Soft vs Hard It is worth mentioning that small, flat-faced breeds, such as Pugs, have much more difficulty lifting the Frisbee if it lands on a flat surface. This problem is solved to some extent by playing on grass. The grass lifts the Frisbee up, allowing your flat-faced dog to get his jaw around it. To get the most out of this disc, you really want to use it in a wide, open field – where you’ll be impressed with just how far you can actually throw it. Yep, if your dog is a chewer or has an incredibly strong bite, he will make short work of even the most heavy-duty Frisbee.

This is probably the winner you expected, right? I mean, you can’t go dog Frisbee shopping without crossing paths with the Kong Flyer – it’s everywhere! Not only that, but wear can really affect the performance of your Frisbee. Chew marks and torn seams can stop the Frisbee from gliding altogether. If you are simply looking for a Frisbee to toss around your yard, a soft Frisbee should be your first choice. There is a good reason for this. It’s just a darn good all-around Frisbee, and unless you have specific needs, there is little reason to choose another Frisbee over this.The only real downside to the Kong Flyer is that it doesn’t float. If you toss this Frisbee into water, it will sink like a stone, and you’ll have to fish it out yourself. While it is still capable of flying a good distance, it pales in comparison to the other Frisbees on this list. It’s for this reason that I only recommend the hydroplane as a water toy rather than an everyday Frisbee.
