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 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. 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.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. In this guide, I simply refer to them as a dog Frisbee – it’s what I’ve always called them. Is a Frisbee the right toy for your dog?

While out shopping, you’ll find two different types of Frisbees, each with pros and cons… 1. Soft dog Frisbees Funny 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. 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.

You might find yourself needing to throw softer to accommodate this. 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 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 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.

Because of its large, flat size, it remains on top of the snow when it lands, instead of sinking like a tennis ball. Soft Frisbees are generally made from rubber, foam or nylon fabric and are designed to be easily thrown by beginners and experts alike. Out of all the Frisbees we reviewed, the Hyperflite Jawz was the most fun to throw. With practice, I could accurately throw it short and fast or in a beautiful, long arc. No matter where my dog was, I could set it up so that she could easily grab it out of the air – consistent throws all day long.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. Given that this is a competition-grade disc and that it’s used in disc dog games, this accuracy was expected. Dog discs—more commonly known as frisbees, after the Frisbee brand name—come in a wide range of sizes and materials, but the best frisbee for you and your dog will be the one that most encourages consistent and rewarding play, so the two of you can spend more time bonding.

Our testers often wouldn’t return it after they heard the squeak. What is a dog Frisbee?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!

If your dog doesn't like the feel of hard plastic in their mouth there are some cloth discs that fly very well and are suited for softer mouths,” she told The Spruce Pets.
