If you're newer to the Big Island or have recently brought a canine friend over from the mainland you're probably noticing that there are far fewer places to take your pooch to play than are available on the mainland or for the other islands for that matter.

     We aren't able to do too much about making dog friendly beaches available at least until our friendly pet numbers increase some. We did however come across these great durable dog toys during our search for new products.

     These toys are made in the US out of recycled fire hose material. They are amazingly durable. Our two dogs Roxy and Mana (pictured above) have been trying hard for the last year to destroy one of the Frequent Flyers that they play with everyday.

      All these toys float for water play, most squeek ,which our dogs really like, and the frequent flyers fly much like a frisbee, giving the dogs a good challenge at home or on the beach.
