We picked up the Dogzilla Turbo Disc for $7.99 at our local super-center. Our bull terrier manages to rip and shred through durable toys in less than an hour, and not many dog toys are capable of withstanding his chew power. Even toys that promise to be durable against tough chewers.
The Dogzilla Turbo Disc promised just that. To be durable for tough chewers. After picking up the Turbo Disc it was pretty clear that the disc had been made of relatively durable material. I could tell though that it would likely only withstand his biting for a few days till he ripped it to shreds.
The disc itself is red in color so it is easy to find for when the dog leaves it on the lawn. It is also non-toxic and safe for dogs (duh).
The disc also floats on water which gives it a neat addition to the way you can play with your dog. Our bully likes running into the water after toys, so knowing that this one couldn't get lost in the depths of the sea was nice.
Our dog in particular loves discs with a hole in the middle, and the Turbo Disc has just that type of hole. Our bully puts half his face through the hole and runs around flipping the disc up into the air, while attempting to catch it before it hits the ground. This habit is his alone, and no one taught it to him. Watching him go mental over a disc is fun though, even if the disc only lasts a few days.
The Dogzilla Turbo Disc lasted as expected. In a week he mangled the disc so badly that it looked like a dorito. The disc however was still in one piece. It took another 3 days for him to finally yank it apart leaving shards of red pieces all of the lawn.
The Dogzilla Turbo Disc would be a wonderful toy for dogs who are not so tough on their toys. For those of us with Bully breeds though, the Dogzilla Turbo Disc will only last a week or 2 before it is completely destroyed.
Overall:
It is durable, yes; but it is not durable enough for bully breeds. I honestly have yet to come across a dog toy able to withstand the force of a bullies bite. I would pay up the kahuna for such a dog toy. Till then it is expensive discs, rings and toys that promise to be durable, yet are not durable enough for our breed.
I am not saying the Dogzilla Turbo Ring is a bad toy though, by all means it is one tough disc, just not for our dog.
