KONG Puppy Flyer

Photos coming soon.

The short version

Buy it if

Owners teaching a small puppy to fetch
Puppies under about 20 lb
Supervised outdoor play in an open yard or park

Skip it if

You want a teething toy to leave with a puppy unattended
You play mostly near water and want a disc that floats
Your dog is already over 20 lb

What owners like

Soft rubber makes mid air catches easy on a dog's mouth
Lasts for months with dogs that fetch rather than chew
Dogs use it for fetch, tug and carrying

Common complaints

Dogs that gnaw on the disc can punch holes in it within days or even hours
Heavier than a plastic disc, so it does not fly like a standard frisbee
Hard for some dogs to pick up off flat ground or sand
Does not float

Based on KONG's Puppy Flyer and Flyer product pages, the Amazon listing, and owner reviews of the KONG Flyer line on zooplus..

What it does

A 7 inch flying disc made of soft KONG puppy rubber, sized for small puppies learning to play fetch.

Soft KONG puppy rubber that KONG says is gentle on young teeth and gums
Flexible disc that rebounds rather than rolling away
KONG says it does not splinter like nylon, hard plastic, sticks or bones
Sized for puppies learning to fetch, with the adult KONG Flyer as the next step

A sensible first disc for a puppy under about 20 lb, since the soft natural rubber gives a gentle catch and KONG makes it in the USA. The trade-off is that KONG says it is not a chew toy, and owners of the KONG Flyer line report that dogs who mouth and gnaw the disc can puncture it quickly.
