Powered by a rechargeable battery that lasts up to 300 throws before needing to be recharged. With four distance settings (3, 7, 12, or random), it's totally flexible for your pet and your available space. Once powered up, simply drop the ball into the top of the unit, and the iFetch Too launches it with power for your dog to fetch and return to the unit.

They also have a “Jr” model that fires smaller dog balls.

In most cases for high fetch drive dogs, actually playing a game of fetch with your dog is better than leaving them to tire themselves out with an automatic ball launcher. Before dogs learn how to use ball launchers properly, many stand in front of the launcher because they’re so excited. This causes the ball to shoot directly at them, and if they are small dogs, it can hurt them. Manual dog ball launchers, or throwers, require human operation to launch tennis balls. They are used to extend the range you can throw a ball for your dog.
