But what exactly does this mean?
Generally we look for three things in a safe disc:
1) Non-brittle plastic. You want a plastic that will puncture instead of shatter into pieces if a dog's tooth goes through it. These plastic shards can be sharp and cut up your dog's mouth. Cheap dollar and super-market discs usually use brittle plastic and should be avoided. This also includes most cheap discs that large pet stores sell.
2) Solid construction. There shouldn't be any holes or spaces in a disc that dog limbs, sticks, or tags can get caught in.
3) Wider rim. This only applied to the harder discs that won't bend when hitting the back of the mouth. You want a rim larger than a centimeter so it doesn't bruise or bloody the back of the mouth if it hits.
Where do I find Dog-Safe Discs?
I'd like to buy local: Pawsitively Purrfect has a selection of Hero USA dog discs
I have a small dog: Ask for the hero atom 185
My dog bites hard: Ask for the superstar, or the white superswirl
My dog has a sort-of hard bite: Ask for the superaero
My dog has a soft mouth: Ask for the Xtra 235 or sonic 215
You can also find the following toy-type discs at various petshops that are dog safe, though they don't fly as well:
- Chuckit paraflight and liteflight
- Hyperpet flippy flopper
- Soft bit floppy disc
- Petmate sonic flyer
- Starmark easy glider
- Westpaw design zisc
(as a note: kong flyers are dog safe, but I don't recommend them)
