The Chuck A Duck toy comes from the Hurl-a-toys range. As far as I am aware there are three varieties of this toy which are; Chuck A Duck, Heave A Beaver and Hurl A Squirrel. There is also a Cat A Whirl toy in this range although this differs slightly from the others. All the hurl toys are very similar with the relevant animal in the middle of the toy.

Dogs Opinion

I had to have my three year old border collie Marley put to sleep back in August last year due to his epilepsy. Afterwards, I felt like I would never get over it and friends and family persuaded me to get a new puppy to try and provide me with something to focus my attention on. After hearing about a border collie puppy that needed homing as his owners we going to shoot him, I decided to give him a home. And that's the story of how I came to get Josh.
When I first bought Josh home, he was only 12 weeks old and still going through all the puppy behaviour of mouthing and chewing everything. After not having a puppy for three years, I decided that I needed to update my dog's toy collection with some more toys. I came across the 'Chuck A Duck' toy as I was browsing through the internet and decided to purchase it and see what my dogs thought of it.

About The Toy The Chuck A Duck is shaped just like a frisbee and is about the same size. Around the outside of the toy there is a thick piece of rope with a cartoon picture of a duck in the middle. The duck in the middle along with the middle section of the toy is made from padded material so the inside of the toy is actually quite soft. The toy is brightly coloured with a purple background behind the duck and most of the rope is a bright orange colour. Chuck A Duck is written twice around the piece of rope in green writing.

Dogs Opinion Josh absolutely loves to play, he's a very sociable dog and every time we bring a new toy home, he loves to play with it straight away and this toy was no exception. Josh also likes to chew and he particularly enjoys chomping on the thick piece of rope around the outside of the toy. Josh and my other collie Dax enjoy playing with each other and this toy is often used as a tuggy between the two of them, with each of them trying to pull it away from the other one. The other use this toy has, is that is can sort of be used like a frisbee due to its shape. Although it doesn't work exactly the same as a frisbee and has a tendency to wobble as you throw it, it still has the desired effect and my dogs love running after it and bringing it back for me to throw again. Josh also enjoys mouthing lots of his toys and he sits with them in his mouth just sucking on them. With the inside of this toy being soft and padded, he gets the best of both world's as he can play tuggy with Dax but also sit and chew the softer part of the toy.
My Opinion I thought that this toy was quite an original idea, a toy that is shaped like a frisbee but can also be used as a tuggy toy. My dogs do play with this toy on a regular basis and Josh certainly chews it on a regular basis and it has been very durable so far, with only a slight bit of wear to it. Many of the toys I buy for my dogs are ruined within days of getting them, purely because they are not made very well and fall apart when they begin to play with them. I am pleased to say that this toy does not fall into this category; it is well made, durable and has multiple uses.
Summary I would certainly recommend this product to anyone with a dog, especially a dog who enjoys destroying toys and this one will last you much longer than a lot of the other toys around at the moment. I thought this toy offered good value for money and the fact that it has multiple uses means that my dogs never seem to get bored of it, although I'm not sure border collies ever get bored!
Advantages: it has muiltple uses Disadvantages: you think of some
...are multiple uses for this good dog toy.
Overall If you want to get a decent dog toy that will last a while and can be used in multiple dog games then go down the local pet shop and go chuck a duck.
Hope ya dog enjoys it. ...

Advantages: Large variety of games not immediately obvious to the non-cannine eye Disadvantages: Not really an outdoor toy
...dog adored this toy.
Chuck A Duck is a dog toy, which is a shape of, slightly padded, cotton lie, duck print fabric, stretched across a stiffened rope ring.
Friends bought it for her, and I thought it wouldn't last 10 minutes, but it was deceptively hard wearing. I have to say that she was never let completely alone with it, due to the afore mentioned cotton and padding. My labrador is a voracious chewer, I didn't want to come home and find she ... ...chewing the sofa.
Chuck A Duck was much loved and abused. I eventually had to consign it to the dog toy grave (after about 6 months), when it became embarressing that my dog was answering the door with just the beak in her mouth (woofing and trying to look dead vicious).
Suitable for:
Frizbee, Tug-O'-War, Catch, Fetch, Chew, Kill
Favourite game: Getting it all wet and gobbey and gently placing it on human face whilst they're enjoying a kip infront ...
