Product Description
The new Zoom Flyer by Planet Dog is hard where you need it but softer where you want it. The dual density technology creates a stiff center core for smooth sailing and incredible distance with each toss, surrounded by a softer outer ring for easy-on-the-mouth catchability. The outer ring also makes it much easier to pick up, eliminating divots in the yard from dogs frenetically digging to pick up their flyer for the next exhilarating fetch. Although this amazing new toy is made from Orbee-Tuff material which makes it durable, minty and buoyant, it is intended for tossing (on land or in water), not chewing! Rinses clean, non-toxic and recyclable. Made in the U.S.A. 9.5" diameter.

 Not recommended May 15, 2008
*Not* recommended:
1) Poor quality control: central rigid plate is significantly off-center resulting in unstable flight.
2) Poor choice of materials: outer soft plastic is too soft. I suspect it will tear easily (but, frankly I don't ever expect ever to use it again as there are better choices - see below).
3) Poor flight characteristics: just does not fly well or far and excessively heavy.
**I would recommend starting your puppy with the soft, dirt-cheap, nylon fabric "Flippy Floppers" available at WalMart - buy several in bright easily-locatable colors and expect your puppy to chew them up relatively quickly. Considering their price they fly and roll well. (The Kong rubber discs are also acceptable for variety and more durable). When she's ready to graduate to a rigid disc without injury, go for the Hyperflite Jawz. They are the best dog discs I know of: well designed (though I'm not a fan of "fast-back" designs in general), made from an incredibly durable plastic (not a tooth mark yet), they have outstanding flight characteristics (they are even fine as a general tossing disc, though a bit small) and can be thrown a good distance despite their light weight (which is a good for your dog's teeth and jaw safety). Hope this helps.
 Tough as a rock and flies like one too. August 10, 2007

This dog disc is very durable, but it flies poorly. The outer ring is made from very tough and somewhat soft rubber. The problem is that this rubber is a bit floppy and quite heavy. The floppiness makes it hard to throw accurately. The heavy weight makes the disc sink quickly, which makes it very hard for the dog to catch it. The Hyperflite 'Jawz' discs are about the same price and work MUCH better. They are also nearly indestructible, but they fly great too.
