Hi Julie,
Thanks for these suggestions. I put the good cuz and ruffians squeaky fish on our toy wishlist.
Thanks again, and have a wonderful week!

Best wishes, Miranda

It's a softish rubbery material called zogoflex I think.  When I first got it, I didn't think there would be any way it would hold up.  We've had it for three years or so now and there's not even a tooth mark on it.  That's saying something.  Jetta goes through one of the hardest and biggest nylabones in a few months.

Monty loves to play Frisbee, but a lot of them we tried got sharp bits of plastic pretty quickly, causing his mouth to bleed.  The Kong flyer does not do that so I feel safe letting him catch it.  It is a bit harder for me to throw, but since we are just playing in the yard not in any sort of competition, it works just fine.
