Having a dog is one of the most rewarding things in the world. They're great company, love us unconditionally and make life an adventure. As high maintenance as they can be, we absolutely love our furry companions and couldn't be without them.

Whether it's because you want to find a way to make their dog walks more exciting or you're taking them with you on a local holiday, playing frisbee with them is an excellent way to entertain them, exercise them and bond with them.

Of course, like many other toys, frisbees can break, whether it's because it accidentally got stood on or because the dog chomped on it a little too hard.

Because of this, we need to ensure the materials the frisbee is made from are safe and dog-friendly, especially for those of us who have more mischievous furry companions, and are constantly chewing things they shouldn't.

We've decided to round up the best dog frisbees; we know just how dangerous certain materials can be for dogs, and we want to ensure that if they do chew on anything, they'll be safe.

If you do have any questions about dog frisbees or are wondering what materials are dangerous for your pup, just make sure you check out our FAQs section at the bottom of this roundup.

FAQs:

Is frisbee bad for dogs?

Like any other impact sport, excessive amounts of frisbee playing is not good for your dog. This is because it can lead to long-term injuries such as back pain or ligament injuries. Another issue that can arise is if the dog chews too much on the plastic disc, as it can damage your dog's teeth.

That being said, as long as you're not doing it constantly, playing frisbee is safe and encouraged, it's an excellent and interactive way to bond with your furry companion.

Can little dogs catch frisbees?

They most certainly can! It may take a little bit of time and patience, but most dogs can learn to fetch a frisbee. If you're worried that they're too small for the frisbee, we recommend buying a smaller disc, such as the KONG Disc Dog Toy
