A customer was complaining that the bargain disc he bought at the pet store shattered when it hit a tree.  His big concern was that the dog picked up the Frisbee at the bottom of the tree and cut his mouth!  It was not a serious injury, but it could have been a lot worse.

They need to ban all discs that can be broken when hitting a tree. That is a danger to humans as well as dogs!

So he wants to know which is the best floating disc for his dog. I can’t make that choice, as I do not know the dog or the owner. This is why I offer many different styles. Click on the links to the names of the Frisbees to view that product.

The DogMate Disc O Dog will not shatter.  It’s main feature is the spike on the bottom that makes it easy for the dog to pickup. It’s a harder construction  than most Frisbees, but is not hard on gums or teeth.

The Booda Turbo Disc has a hole in the middle for easy pickup and is a little softer than the DogMate. It has a reinforced outer ring for better durability and flight characteristics.

For floating Frisbees, I would choose the Orca. Very durable, chew proof and is a good flyer.  A little on the heavy side, it could double as a chew toy ( a no no in the Disc Dog World)

Similar to the Old Navy Frisbee, the DogObie is a soft rubber, flies VERY far, and also floats. I also rank this one high on the list.

I like floating Frisbees, and taught my dog a trick with one.  It was a hot summer day, and I pulled out the kiddy pool and put 6″-8″ of water in it.  After a 20 minute Frisbee session, my dog’s tongue was almost to the ground!  I tossed the Frisbee into the kiddy pool and told the dog “Wash It Off!” ( meaning to wash off the Frisbee )  into the kiddy pool he jumped to cool down and get a drink.  I didn’t have to give the command twice

Be sure to give your pup ear rubs from me.
