Floppy Disc "USA", Melon, Soft Flying Disc Toy for Dogs, 10 inch

I would have given this a five, but let me explain. I have a 70 pound border collie whose canines manage to get through the material fairly quickly, and gets to the seam that keeps the outer ring which overs a rubber tube together. Soon after, the tube is hanging out and its too tight a fight to fix. Other than than, it's a testimony to the product that my dog loves it so much I keep buying more; this is probably my fourth, so I'm going for a two pack. If your dog isn't large, or have strong teeth, you may never have this problem, and its a great toy, especially for house dogs. I will keep buying them regardless, but note to manufacturer: Tighten up the seam so even is the material gets frayed, it's still able to be thrown and not have a rubber hose sticking out half of it. It's definatly worth trying and your dog will love it!!!!!!

Our German Shepherd LOVES to play with these things! I'm not kidding, it's like an addiction or something. She is a pretty stable dog most of the time, but all I have to do is show her this things and she starts dancing all around the room wanting to go outside to play. We tried the hard plastic discs as she was first learning to play but they got really rough, with a lot of teeth marks and would sometimes cut her lips and gums. I'm not here to knock any other items but the harder plastic ones just didn't seem as safe to me, especially the way she way jumping to catch it. Anyway, we tried the flying squirrel toy like this one  CHUCKIT! FLYING SQUIRREL MEDIUM  that we got locally and it was a lot better, but was a little hard to throw for me. I have problems with my shoulder and to get the squirrel to fly well, I had to really put a spin on it which did my shoulder in after a few throws. Then I found this floppy disk and gave it a try. For me, it's easier to throw, flies better, hangs in the air better (depending on the wind) and is much safer for the dog than the hard plastic discs. Our dog is about 60lbs right now and the medium seem to be the perfect size for here. This is our second medium since the first one is starting to show some signs of wear and tear after A LOT of use. I would recommend putting the disc away after use so it doesn't get used as a chew toy. Also, one other tip.... periodically I like to wash ours with just a drop of dish soap, then I lay it on the A/C unit out side and the fan dries it in no time. I have also tried the 12" version of this which is just as nice but seems to be a little harder to throw (for me) than the smaller 10" medium version. I've also tried Tail Spin and Chuckit brands that look a lot like this one. They all seem to work well, and I'm sure we will eventually wear them out, but this Floppy Disc in the medium 10" size is still my favorite.

My 1 year old English Cocker Spaniel LOVES this disc. The 7 inch floppy disc is a perfect size for training him to catch a frisbee mid-air, and it is so soft that it doesn't hurt or startle him when it inevitably accidentally hits him on the nose! And oh, how he loves to tug on it! He gets so excited about playing fetch and tug with this thing, it makes me so happy! I love how bright it is so that it's super easy to find on the grass, or if it lands in the bushes or under trees. And it is so RUGGED! I can't believe how well it has held up to his super sharp teeth! We will definitely be ordering more. And I think as he gets older and better at catching we will try the bigger size. PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS NOT A CHEW TOY. It is a toy for playing fetch with your dog. To keep it in good condition, put it out of reach of your dog when not in use. I never leave it where my dog can have free access to it or he would shred it to bits- not easily, but I'm sure he could!* I play fetch with him with the floppy disc until he gets tired and then the moment he sits down with it and starts to chew, I take it away and put it up so he can't have it to chew. He doesn't play with it unless we're playing together and I'm actively supervising. Limiting access extends the life of the floppy disc and makes the toy more reinforcing as well. This is an amazing toy for active dogs who need a lot of physical and mental activity. I love it because my dog loves it!!!*Update: After more than 3 years of play, (including leaving the floppy disc out for him to chew on by accident, which we did so often that we just stopped putting it away) it's in perfect shape. No tears, holes, or fraying even though he chews on it and tugs on it after every game of catch. We still use it daily. Best dog toy we've purchased.

Purchased two of these discs recently, and they are a neat toy on land or in the water. i used them with my wolf pack of four (two germans and two belgians) and after less than one month, the first one was already chewed up and coming apart. important to note that i only used it for perhaps 30-45 minutes per day and not every day, and only when i was present to receive or retrieve it each time… had i left it with with the wolves i'm sure it would not have lasted one day. in other words, just from being caught and brought back to me, at least the first one was pretty much used up in less than a month. i enjoyed the fact that you can play with the wind and create some challenges in throwing them, more than a heavier rubber or plastic disc. maybe they aren't meant to last any longer, who knows? i wouldn't necessarily discourage you from buying this product, but these are my observations.
