Outdoor Game

Outdoor games are the toys built for open ground: launchers, flying discs, long-range balls and tug toys made to survive sand, grass and salt water. In the UAE they earn their keep in the cooler months and in the early morning hours. Pet Corner Dubai stocks outdoor game toys from Petmate, Outward Hound and Petsafe.

What makes our outdoor game range stand out

1. Distance without the arm ache

Petmate launchers roughly double throwing range and pick the ball up for you, so a short session tires the dog rather than you.

2. Materials that survive sand and salt

Sealed rubber and coated fabric rinse clean and do not degrade after beach and pool use, unlike felt-covered balls which hold grit and turn abrasive.

3. Soft-edged flying discs

Rubber and fabric discs flex on the catch instead of hitting the teeth like a hard plastic frisbee, which is a common cause of chipped canines.

4. High-visibility colours on sand

Dogs see blue and yellow clearly and red poorly. On pale UAE sand, colour choice is the difference between a dog finding the toy and losing it.

Frequently asked questions

When is it too hot for outdoor play in Dubai?

Test the ground with the back of your hand. If you cannot hold it on the surface for seven seconds, it will burn paw pads. Through summer that usually means before sunrise or well after dark, with shorter sessions, because high humidity makes it much harder for a dog to cool by panting.

Are flying discs safe for dogs?

Soft rubber and fabric discs are. Hard plastic sports frisbees are not, because they can chip teeth and cut gums. Also avoid encouraging high mid-air twisting catches, which put significant force through the spine and hips on landing.

How do I stop my dog eating sand at the beach?

Use a toy large and bright enough to sit on the surface rather than one that buries. Rinse toys between throws, take water breaks, and stop the session if your dog is repeatedly mouthing the ground. Swallowed sand can cause a serious intestinal blockage.

What should I do after my dog swims in the sea or pool?

Rinse the coat with fresh water, paying attention to the belly and between the toes, and dry the ears thoroughly. Trapped moisture in the ear canal is the leading cause of ear infections in UAE dogs, and salt and chlorine both irritate skin if left on.
