Flying Disc

The Flying Disc (Japanese: ディスク, Disuku) is an item in Nintendogs and Nintendogs + Cats that is found in the Sports category of the Supplies menu. It is a frisbee the player can throw for their dog to catch-- mainly in a park-- where there is more space to practice for disc competitions than at home.

To throw a disc, simply drag the disc towards the bottom of the touch screen, quickly move it upwards, then release. The faster you move the disc upwards and the higher you drag the disc before release, the further and higher it will go. Dogs can catch a disc either by walking towards it, jumping, or even flipping for it.

Flying Discs come in different shapes, and every disc comes in a different color. There is a total of fifteen discs to collect in Nintendogs, while there are twelve to collect in Nintendogs + Cats.

Nintendogs[]

Most Discs are found on walks, though you can buy the Red Flying Disc and Blue Flying Disc in the Pet Supply & Discount Shops.

Discs are made in five different models: Basic, Sponsor, Aerodisc, Camo, and Special. Each of the discs within a model type have no differences other than color (besides the Special Discs, which come in different shapes and sizes).

Note: Best Friends shares its exclusive discs with Dachshund & Friends, while Dalmatian & Friends shares its exclusive discs with Chihuahua & Friends.
