[NAGDU] frisbees

[Emily Michael]

Yeah, I don’t plan to let him have the frisbee unless we’re outside playing. He’s pretty hard on all toys.

However over time the dog's teeth will make little indentations around the edge.  These can be sharp.   Monty's mouth would get tiny cuts from the rough edge and caused a bit of bleeding, not serious, but enough that I threw that frisbee away and continued the hunt for a better option.

>> 
>> We finally found a keeper.  It's made by Kong  It's a much softer, sort of rubbery material.  It's not the same rubber as the traditional Kong toys, but similar.  We've had it for a couple of years now and there aren't any permanent teeth marks.  I don't let him have it outside of the times when I'm throwing it for him.   Probably it could be chewed up if a dog just laid down and chewed on it like a chew toy.  The only downside to the Kong disc is that it's not rigid, it's floppy, and it's harder to throw.  I'm not a very good frisbee thrower to begin with so your mileage may vary.  I can only get this one to fly perhaps 30 feet or so, which is honestly fine because my yard isn't all that big.
