Customer Review: Chuckit Flying Squirrel Dog Toy
Great fun for active dogs, this toy sails through the air for the dog to chase. Or just toss it high for him to catch. My Australian Shepherd loves it. Good product for recreation with your doggie on land or at the beach.
Customer Review: 4 1/2 Nothing Beats a Tennis Ball, But This Works Well
Our golden retriever, Sadie the Wonder Dog, is an absolute nut for chasing and retrieving things. Her preference is for balls: tennis, softballs, rubber balls, hard baseballs, anything round that bounces. When a ball is not available, she'll come over to us and drop a rock at our feet. While I usually tell her ,"no, I will not throw a rock," Sadie's acting chops are finely tuned, and I sometimes give into them. That she finds them is a tribute to her and her breed, I suppose. The problem with the objects mentioned above is that they're not always safe for either dog or home. Rocks and baseballs are obvious, but our vet (I mean, Sadie's vet) informed us that catching tennis balls can be rough on a dog's teeth. Enter the squirrel, a product from "Chuckit," the people who invented the Chuckit flinger--a whipping arm that enables you to toss a ball several hundred feet for a great canine work out. THe "Flying Squirrel" won't go as far as a Chuckit flung ball, but it can hover a bit when thrown right, and may be desireable for somewhat older dogs, or any dog on a hot day. Because of it's aerodynamic properties, I find it easier to throw than a frisbee, although it won't go as far. Again, this could be an advantage. It's covered in soft material, and Sadie has yet to rip it or chew threw it, contrary to one reviewer's experience here. I'm wondering what kind of dog that person has, the "sporting" dogs were bred to retrieve fowl (and tennis balls?) without injuring (well--further injuring--since the bird has already been shot!) or clamping down on the prey. I have to admit that if a ball is around, the squirrel gets cursory attention, but it seems to have more appeal than a rock. I think it's good for variety, or when you or --especially--your pet want a quieter, less energetic day of throwing and retrieving. The bright colors and relatively slow flight make it easier to track and find, and it fits easily into a backpack or a backseat so you're ready when your dog lets you know it's time to run!
