Zogoflex West Paw Design Zisc Dog Toy

Great item but bit over priced

I bought this to replace our previous one, after 3 years it was finally time to retire the original. I don't think I've had a pet toy that's lasted longer than 3 months, let alone 3 years. It's a quality toy, fly's well and also floats. Tip it upside down and it doubles as a water bowl. Our 3 labs and one cockapoo love chasing this, it's been well loved already!

Our dog loves his toys but they tend to last a matter of hours. This one is now on day 5 and doesn’t even have as much as a tooth Mark in it. He’s not put it down, it’s been to the park with us, our the back garden, he takes it all around the house. He loves to chew at it or play fetch with it. He’s even cuddling it when he’s just relaxing. Really impressed with how lightweight but tough this is. Would highly recommend for dogs that usually destroy toys.

As long as we don't leave it with the dog, and just get it out at playtime it lasts. The most durable 'soft' frisbee that we've had.

So far so good. My dog loves destroying his toys, he's not the most powerfull chewer, however, he likes to sit and slowly pick them apart. He has failed to make a mark in this. It does take a bit of oomph to get it to fly a decent distance, however, he had managed to catch it a few times because it's soft. An added benefit is it doubles as a makeshift bowl, it's about 2cm deep so can hold some water for thisrty pups.

Bought one of these last June, now shopping for a replacement as my GSD cross border collie has managed to tear out the soft middle part of the Frisbee. Its now just a hoop. I don't think its much better than the Kong flyer; unfortunately, i threw mine into a river which is why i bought this floating one. The thin middle part does seem to be a bit of a design flaw, if it had been the same thickness as the outside i don't think this would have happened. I have several West Paw toys and only had issues with this one.

I lost count of the quantity and types of frisbees that were destroyed by my dogs, both Border Collies 11/2 yrs. These frisbees have lasted very well, however they are not chew toys and i left one with them while unsupervised and the dogs chewed a hole through the middle, but as a throw and retrieve item, it works very well and is immune to damage in this case. These frisbees are made of a very flexible silicone type material and are heavier than most standard frisbees and as a result it is more difficult to throw until you have a fair bit of practice and do watch out if you have a bad back as it does take some extra effort to throw.

Dog likes this and is easy to pick up in the sand. Need to be a bit wary with it as it is rather heavy. Long lasting as dog has been unable to chew at it

Found it too small and to stiff. Dog plays with it but not like a Kong. Our puppy like the softer rubber.

I actually have come to love the small WP “zisc!” I like that the material doesn’t wear on the dogs’ teeth and it is incredibly easy to throw. Just sails so nicely through the air. I prefer the small size also for more needed precision + less weight impact on the mouth for my Malinois. My advice, because Malinois are so intense and active, use the lightest weight and least abrasive toys. Too much intense trauma/impact can lead to tooth resorption and enamel wear if the product is also abrasive. Try to make them run for it and not catch anything head on. Avoid fractured teeth by not letting them chew on antlers, cow hooves, super hard bones, etc. Never use ceramic bowls for water or food as they can chip their teeth that way also. **I came back to add, as some people have said their dogs have chewed this frisbee up, that it’s best to train them not to use frisbees as chew/tug toys. They should be used as a catch/retrieve/return/release toy, which my Malinois does well. However, she loves it so much that if my male Mal puppy tries to get it from her in attempt to play, tugging between the two has resulted in the destruction of one zisc so far. These aren’t indestructible, but they’re again not meant to be an aggressive tug/chew toy. (Plus, mind you, this was two large 60+ lb dogs against a small zisc!) I would always place safety on teeth/mouth when thrown (thrown as I recommended…never head on if you can help it) over a frisbee being an indestructible chew toy that would require more heft.

I could never get my dog to catch a hard plastic frisbee, (I can't imagine it was pleasant to have a hard plastic disc hit the mouth,) but my dog loves catching this disc! The soft rubber is sturdy and heavy enough to fly well, and it doesn't hurt his mouth to catch it. He does love to chew it, but again, the soft rubber is quite resilient and it will take a lot of chewing before he manages to bite through it and I have to buy another one. I've bought this item three times and am about to buy it again. It's a popular toy for my pet and worth having at home.

My dog loves it. It flies really well, easy to catch and durable.

I really like everything about this $10 frisbee from westpaw. I did a bunch of reading and educating myself on the whole process of puppy teething and also pleasing textures etc, and I think it was AKC that recommended this frisbee among many other. Of all the things I ordered, this is the only one she still loves. She dislikes really hard/firm toys so it sucks because most of the softer stuff, obviously, is easy to tear apart. Now, this little freak of toy nature falls in between. She is a 55lb+ husky mix puppy and we play tug of war with it, as in it can withstand her nearly being off the ground holding on to this thing. It is sort of the texture of firm silicone, like good oven gloves. She has not pierced it with her teeth yet, although I have seen photos of other dogs succeeding in chewing holes in it. I do not let her use it as a chew toy, since it is primarily a frisbee. We use it for tug of war and for fetching. It ends up being a treat every time she sees it. I have a lot of other toys I rotate in and out, but I collect them all back for the next fetch session. She has other toys she can chew on in the meanwhile. Lot of people report that it is easy to throw. It sure is. And it is light enough that a good breeze carries it even further. Last night the breeze carried it right onto the roof of my house, balanced right on the apex. I can't reach it with my ladder so will probably end up buying another one. I also throw it side-armed badly and it gets this little wobble that the dog is fascinated by. But yes, it is sturdy, light, flies like the wind, and just fun.
