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

Product Information

Unlike cheaper competition discs, this one is designed with durability in mind. Hyperflite advertises this Frisbee as being If your dog loves to play in the water, there is no need to look past this Frisbee. The dog Frisbees that didn’t make the cut One said that it was the unusual flight path that a Frisbee makes as it glides through the air that captured his dog’s attention. When the game is over, you should put the Frisbee away and give your dog his go-to chew toy instead – doing so will extend the life of your Frisbee. Conclusion Soft Frisbees won’t glide as far as hard Frisbees. Rubber Frisbees are heavier and fall faster, while fabric Frisbees are less aerodynamic – you can’t expect the same looooooong arcing throws that can only be experienced with a hard plastic disc.

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. 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. We tested many Frisbees that floated on water, such as the Flippy Flopper and the Paraflight, but none were as suited to water play as the Ruffwear Hydro Plane.If you are simply looking for a Frisbee to toss around your yard, a soft Frisbee should be your first choice. 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!

The TUFFY Ultimate Flyer was a durable option for a soft Frisbee. However, we found the squeaker encouraged dogs to use it as a chew toy. Our testers often wouldn’t return it after they heard the squeak. What is a dog Frisbee? 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. 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. There are discs made of both soft and hard plastic, as well as those made of nylon and lighter materials. Durable plastic is typically heavier and lasts longer, says Martinez, but it’s not the best choice for every dog.But when compared to the soft nylon and rubber discs, the difference was day and night. After throwing the Hyperflite Jawz, other discs felt clunky and fell too fast. If you have a small pooch who wants to play Frisbee too, you’ll be pleased to note that the Kong Flyer is available in two sizes… Small As an added bonus, your dog will look adorably goofy when his head appears in the middle of the ring. A lightweight plastic Frisbee can be thrown farther, more accurately and float better than a Frisbee made from any other material. This quality makes plastic Frisbees the number one choice for those who compete in professional disc dog tournaments.

We were impressed with just how well the Flippy Flopper held up to our toothy testers. The nylon is smooth and doesn’t provide any opportunity to catch and fray on a particularly sharp tooth. If you are like me and just want a single Frisbee to toss around at the local dog park, skip the plastic. 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.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. But it’s this simple design that made this the best soft dog Frisbee that we tested – there isn’t much that can go wrong with it. 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. But where the Flippy Flopper really stands out is its price. This thing is darn affordable – you can buy two or even three for the same price as other Frisbees we tested. 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.

You see, Frisbees were designed with throwing and catching in mind. Chewing? Not so much. While some of the Frisbees we reviewed were heavy-duty, they won’t last long if used as a dedicated chew toy. If your dog chews his frisbee, give him a good chew toy instead. 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. 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 The StarMark Easy Glider was made from a soft, durable foam. It doesn’t fly well and is easily affected by the wind.

But even so, that doesn’t make a Frisbee less suitable – some dogs will only play fetch with a Frisbee. We spoke to two owners who mentioned that while their dogs refused to play fetch with balls, they would happily fetch a Frisbee. First, due to just how light this Frisbee is, we found that it was affected by strong winds. While we could get around this somewhat by throwing with the wind, it didn’t glide as well as it did on a still day – if you live in a windy area, consider a heavier disc. Wubba Kong Toys: wubbas are perfect for fetch and tug-of-war games. There are snuggly options for cuddling as well as waterproof options that are ideal for water play! 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.
