Hyper PetFlying Series Interactive Dog Toys - Large Duck Slingshot Fetching Dog Toy - Floats on Water

I breed German shepherds. This toy is a soft formed stick made of a memory foam/ rubber polymer. It’s light weight, very durable, floats and my German Shepherds love retrieving this toy. They are not indestructible but they are a great chewing toy for their price. I usually buy several at a time. This toy will help clean their teeth and is soft enough not to damage their teeth. It’s a favorite item for my dogs.

Picture this...black lab mix and australian cattle dog fetching this "stick" on dry land. Then playing a very aggressive tug match with it....it is still holding! It looks like a wreck but not falling apart and still floats in the pool for fetch as well. I just bought a second so I have a dry land one (nasty dirty) and a cleaner version for the pool. It is light and seems not durable...but it is!

Didn't last even an hour. This damage wasn't from the dog either, it looks like it let loose from the stress of just trying to launch it! It doesn't fly near as far as the discontinued Pig Slingshot toy. Bring back the pig, please.I also ordered the other listed Hyper Pet flying fowl, and it flew the same distance as this one, and has lasted through the day (but needs to be heavier). But for this one, perhaps they needed to double stitch the area under the 'chin'? I'll try to return it. It looks like it should be more durable, but at least that part isn't.Second one: I chose the replacement, instead of a refund because my dog loves me shooting the toys into the yard. He saw the new duck, and was excited. Six shots in and the seam on the bottom of the head was already separating. By 10 or so times, it was getting concerning as the seams were opening enough I was concerned that it would lose its filling. I'm disappointed, and so is my dog. Just in case anyone is wondering, I never let him alone with this, and still feel, even more so, that the failure is the stitching on the bottom of the head, right at the point where the most stresses of launching it are focused. I'd strongly recommend that Hyper Pet use two layers of full canvas over that area, and also Bring Back The Slingshot Pig, PLEASE...The second picture is the second Duck, and my 7 month old. He wasn't ready to end the session.The problem, for us, is that the 'dog run' isn't very long, and all of the other toys I have are bazooka style launching devices that I can't use yet as they would fly far over the fence. Ironically one is from Hyper Pet, and is amazing. Works so well. Too well?

This is the best “stick” to have in the house. Durable and doesn’t shed little stick crumbles all over the place. Haven’t been able to use it in the water yet but looking forward to it. My dog LOVES it. Great for fetch and tug-o-war with my other dog. I bought it after my sister had one for her dogs and my dog kept playing with it. Totally worth it.

Wow! What an experience! I ordered this toy, on August 16th, for water fetch play with my Pit/Lab mix because it is a much safer option than sticks for my pup. I received many orders and I kept getting messages from Amazon stating this product was “running late and on its way”. It soon became apparent, by Amazon, that this toy was like those socks that mysteriously disappear in the dryer. After a a couple weeks, I contacted Amazon and they stated that they had no idea where this product was located. Hence, I cancelled the order and wrote the company. Reviews are important to me so I typically write them, good or bad. However, I always contact the company to explain (warn) them prior to actually writing. This company amazed me with their customer service! I was told that It is Amazons job to send from their warehouses and she apologized and took full responsibility for getting the product to us. She emailed almost daily to inquire about my delivery. Oh boy... This sweet woman emailed me and stated it was sent out by UPS and gave a tracking number. She emailed me,nwith joy in her heart, asking if I liked the product that was delivered. Lol! Unfortunately, UPS had no info on that tracking number and I never received it. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Her next email was to tell me USPS said it was delivered. Hmmm... this amazing women felt horrible and promised a next day delivery (pretty brave of her after the previous disasters). After approximately 7 emails, the product arrived. I was actually excited to email her to let her know! Lol! Honestly, she tried so hard and was in constant contact and I actually felt bad for her because no matter what she attempted, this product wasn’t meant to be delivered until 9/4. 🤷🏻‍♀️😎 I give this rep a 5+; unfortunately, the issues prevent me from honestly giving the company or Amazon a 5+. So far, it is a Fave of my pup and we’ve had an amazing day water fetching with this toy! Please, don’t let your pup chew this toy. It’s definitely a fun, nicely made product, but personally, I’d only use it in water fetch. That is exactly what I’ve purchased the item for to begin with. I’ve found that my 55lb Pit/Lab does best when I purchase toys specifically for water and others for land. Her toys are important to her; hence, she knows to “leave it” after play. Please know that I’ll keep you all updated on this product. It gets rather costly purchasing toy after toy when many are junk. Be safe and keep those pups safe as well! 🙏🏼😎

The media could not be loaded. My dog absolutely LOVES this stick! I get one every time I see it on sale! It is very light, and it bounces in an unpredictable way which is why I think she loves it so much. It also floats, so it’s a super good toy for water retrieving! HOWEVER it is NOT a chewing toy, and can easily be destroyed. I don’t ever leave my dogs toys down when we’re not playing anyways because that decreases their value, so that’s not an issue for me, as well as having multiple so if she does decide to chew one I can quickly call her off it. It does have a bunch of teeth marks but whatever, it’s a dog toy. It cleans dupery easy too and while it is light it can get pretty decent distance with my throwing it.

This is described as foam and while I'm not questioning the material I am letting you know it's a very hard ball. I was looking for a soft foam like a stress ball type. This would be good for a hard chewer who needs a ball that floats in water. I gave this away as it was too hard for my dog.

Nothing survives my dogs jaws, but this is holding up pretty well
