Playing Frisbee with your dog is easy and immediate, but play well without putting at risk the mouth of his playmate, depend

and almost exclusively from the choice of the host on which type of disk to use.
We come then to the tune of this article, or explain the difference between one brand and another and from one model to another.
All discs have analyzed three characteristics that distinguish them from normal frisbee toy.

1st - The material, in most cases are not made ​​for plastic composite designed to create, in case of breakage, chips dangerous for the dog's mouth.

2nd - The shape, all disks have the dog hump accentuated and rounded edges to facilitate a smooth flight and an easy grip, even on the ground.

3rd - The weight of the discs for dogs generally weigh less than more than a Frisbee for humans, because this must be taken into the mouth, on the fly, often in racing, so they should not hurt.

We will try to draw up a table of records according to certain parameters, those which should govern the purchase of the owner of the dog depending on the attitudes and perspectives of the game. We divide the disks into easy, medium, DIFFICULT to be run, anticipating that as of now, however, subjectivity is the master in this case, then we go through the weight, diameter, forms that are objective data, ending finally with the type of game more suitable for every type of disc.
The brands that we will have two basic analysis, and Hyper-FLITE HERO, both American, are the most popular and active in this field, not forgetting, however, some models of other brands but they are limited to one or two products at the most.


These are the 4 most popular models in the circuit of Hyperflite practitioners.

COMPETITION STANDARD:may look like a normal frisbee as you see them too many toy stores but they are basically two major differences, the first is that if damage does not jump off the plastic pieces or splinters that can hurt our dog, the second is the shape and edge that makes the dog hump in the recollection of the hard ground.
They have a fairly rigid plastic that facilitates long casts and tense, have a relatively small but it affects accuracy in the case of some 'wind.
They are ideal for those who want to start without investing a lot of money and are the prelude to what will later become the definitive hard to use.
Despite the flexibility of this product sofflite is distinguished by its particular resistance to the bite and precision flying in the whole pretty good. Especially suitable for freestyle sessions, however, does not disdain distance. Also available in Puppy.

SOFFLITE: discs are very, very flexible, especially suitable for large puppies and dogs for those who have a sensitive mouth that are difficult or take the fly hard objects.
Despite the flexibility of this product sofflite is distinguished by its particular resistance to the bite and precision flying in the whole pretty good. Especially suitable for freestyle sessions, however, does not disdain distance. Also available in Puppy.


JAWZ: are the final step for those who want the most out of a Frisbee, heavy and extremely resistant to any type of bite, is regarded by experienced practitioners such as frisbee final.
Very precise in flight, is used in all disciplines without any problem.
Only "defect", is a good hand and a bit 'of experience to get the most from this type of frisbee.


JAWZ HYPERFLEX are an evolution of the JAWZ, characteristics are practically the same in most of the classics with greater flexibility at the expense of resistance but slightly worse





These are the 5 most popular models in the circuit of practitioners Hero.


SUPER HERO: the model in question is the Top of the range version of Hero, very strong, with a mixture of plastic is not too hard is ideal for those who want a Frisbee fast and accurate, especially in the distance.
Diameter rather high, making it ideal for long casts with consistent trajectory. It 's a good alternative to the Jawzī Hyperflite.
Like all heavy and large diameter frisbee, needs an experienced hand to give their best.


SUPER SONIC: Super Hero smaller and lighter, and longer to launch from the difficulty of launching less than a Super Hero.
The material it is made is the same as a Super Hero so we have a good combination of strength and precision.


SONIC XTRA 215: this model has a smaller diameter than a frisbee "standard" and a weight below average, however this does not penalize the resistance that stood at very high levels.
It 'a Frisbee very easy to manage as it has only flaw being the subject rather than the wind, this is due to very little weight.
Aesthetically it is very "flat", with a hump is not very pronounced, resulting in a straight flight of the first quality but less precision in freestyle games.



XTRA 235 DISTANCE: we have in hand a frisbee for the larger dogs on the market, the main feature of this product is a flight from longer life than competitors, helped by smaller burden despite its size.
Suitable for distance sessions, do not feel to recommend for freestyle but rather "cumbersome" and delicate composition, in fact, this disc is based on a rigid plastic rather delicate, not exactly ideal for a dog the powerful bite (unless you want to change discs after 2 or 3 gaming sessions). Given the ease of launch is still a good frisbee to get started.


XTRA 235 AIR: essentially we are talking about a 235 Xtra Distance but with a variation on the shape of the hump, more pronounced to allow more flight time.




Other brands

- WHAM-O -

FASTBACK: The Wham-O produces mostly models for use in Ultimate Frisbee and Freestyle without animals, but has created a valuable record for dogs
characterized by very large diameter of 24cm and a weight of 110g.
These features allow the disc a flight uniform and prolonged resistance to the bite in sin but as a product with fairly rigid plastic.


- TRIXIE -

ACTIVITY DISC:The Trixie enters the disc dog world in 2009 with a really good product, developed with world champion Karin Actun disc dogging. This frisbee has a diameter of 24cm and a weight of 134g and is placed between the ideal products for distance and freestyle as precisely and easily influenced by the wind due to the weight rather high, even the plastics are top quality, soft yet strong enough, they are on a medium-high level with regard to resistance to the bite but are not suitable for small dogs or mouth delicate.
This disc has a very good value for money.


- KONG –

FLYER & PUPPY FLYER: The Kong produces basically two types of discs using the famous gum that made ​​her famous in the dog world for quality and durability.
The frisbee of Kong are not approved for use in official races and then take them into account only for the introduction of the game for those dogs who resent rigid plastic, in fact, characteristic of these discs is the composition of rubber, very soft, flexible, resistant.
The disc can be easily folded and rolled and is produced in Puppy and Standard version.
The differences between the two versions lies in the composition of rubber, softer and more delicate in Puppy and 17cm in diameter for small, 23cm for adults.
Despite the very composition of the soft discs Kong fly very well and does not undermine the dog into the socket on the fly, thus avoiding the unnatural twist that other disks may cause non-specific.
