A flying disc has a smaller diameter and lower profile which allow it to be more
easily caught by dogs, children, and other less experienced players. The disc has
an increased thickness and weight at the rim enabling the disc to travel greater
distances. The disc has an increased thickness along a flight plate and along a
transition area which helps deter puncture and other breakage due to aggressive
canine catches. The disc has gripping surfaces positioned along an upper surface
and on the underside of the disc which help a person retain better control of the
disc while it is being thrown or caught. The gripping surfaces are segmented, staggered,
uni-directional, and present a low profile. These gripping surfaces help prevent
the accumulation of foreign matter that can render it difficult to grip or catch
the disc and which can harm a dog's teeth when catching the disc.
