We, especially Lily our Lab, love this product!!! The flexibility of it insures that we don't have any damage to her gums when she catches it. We do pick it up after she plays with it to insure an extra long life of the toy. It is not meant to replace the nice chew toys available. We have looked for other brands of flying discs, but NONE compare to the Zogoflex. Even Lily knows the difference between the Zogoflex and other discs! She ALWAYS wants her Zogo. I hope that you always make them!
