Why it matters
Choose 10, 20 or 30 ft, or long-press for random distances. A built-in 2200 mAh battery charges by USB (use a 2 A adapter, not included). Fifteen soft 2 in tennis balls and a mesh bag come with it; use one clean, dry ball at a time.
Who it's for, and who should skip it
Good fit if
- Small and medium dogs
- Indoor and yard
- Cordless play
Look elsewhere if
- Unsupervised play
- Obsessive fetchers without limits
- Large dogs (ball too small)
Pros and cons
Pros
- 15 balls
- Random mode
- Rechargeable
Cons
- No adapter
- Wet balls jam
- Small balls
Limitations to weigh
- Supervise launcher play, teach your dog to approach from the side, and cap sessions; some dogs will fetch past exhaustion or fixate on the machine.
- Use only the ball size the launcher is made for, and make sure the ball is too large for your dog to swallow.
- Skip long fetch sessions in heat and give water breaks; puppies and dogs with joint problems need shorter, gentler play.
