Product Information

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.

Unlike cheaper competition discs, this one is designed with durability in mind. Hyperflite advertises this Frisbee as being 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. You get a lot more mileage out of a quality dog Frisbee that has been designed with your dog’s mouth in mind. I also appreciated that the bright colors made the Frisbee easy-to-see. On the few times that my pooch wasn’t paying attention and I threw it into the water, I had no problems locating it in the waves.Given that this is a competition-grade disc and that it’s used in disc dog games, this accuracy was expected. However, even the toughest Frisbee we tested received complaints that a dog chewed his way through it. I have a suspicion that these owners let their dog gnaw on their Frisbee all day. 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 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. 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 cutNext, the Flippy Flopper is only available in the standard size of 9-inches wide. There is no 7-inch option for smaller dogs.

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. As an added bonus, your dog will look adorably goofy when his head appears in the middle of the ring. 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

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. If you are like me and just want a single Frisbee to toss around at the local dog park, skip the plastic. Is your dog a super chewer capable of tearing his way through any dog toy in seconds? Then, you may be on the hunt for an unbreakable Frisbee. The oversized Nerf Dog Nylon Flyer was too big for most breeds, wobbled when thrown and was easily affected by light wind.

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. 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 HardFunny enough, my neighbor actually uses the Flippy Flopper as his go-to dog Frisbee. I learned this when he asked why I had 20+ Frisbees scattered across my front lawn. He has been buying them for his Kelpie since 2013 and claims he gets about a year of use before it’s too torn up to fly.
