My German Shepherds Back Gums are bleeding from Catching Frisbee

by Rich Kaplan
(CT)







I just started playing frisbee with my 14 month old Shepard. She has no problem catching the frisbee. I noticed blood on the frisbee and found abraded areas on the back gums.

I bought cheap frisbees and noticed they were bitten up from catching. I replaced them, but I think the abrasions were not healed enough and she still had some visible bleeding.

I bought a Kong flyer, but it floats like a "brick". Just ordered some Jawz Discs to try. Any suggestions for beginning discs or introducing the dog to frisbees. thanks

You might want to change to the FLIPPY FLOPPER frisbee. They are made of cloth and have a rubber outer ring. The sell for about $5.50 each. Type Flippy Flopper into your search browser.

They float and are easy to clean. Don't pay more than $6.00 each. They used to sell them at Wal-Mart and they no longer carry them. Go figure.


Here are some other flying disk options:

Try using a frisbee with plastic surrounded by foam. They are less dangerous is u got hit with it and they are squishy!
