- INCLUDES 3 STANDARD TENNIS BALLS: Our automatic dog ball launchers include 3 non-abrasive standard sized tennis balls which measure about 2.5 inches in diameter, and are great for fetch. However, these balls are not meant for chewing and when too wet or dirty it may affect performance. Please periodically clean balls for best performance.

From the Manufacturer
---------------------
Fetch-a-holics rejoice!
The iFetch Too is perfect for big dogs who love their tennis
balls! Change the launch distance to 10, 25 and 40 feet with the
touch of a button. It’s that easy! There’s also a random distance
setting for more fun. The iFetch Too launches immediately, to
minimize the chances of the ball hitting your dog at close range;
but we recommend training your dog to drop the ball in from
behind, as good practice. Comes with a built-in, rechargeable
battery that can last and last (we've counted over 300
launches!). Bring it to the park and watch the dogs come running.
Happy fetching!
Award-winning ball launcher! The iFetch Too won “First Place” in
the New Product Showcase dog category at SuperZoo, the pet
industry’s largest trade show, and “Second Place” at the Global
Pet Expo’s New Product Showcase. The best praise for us, though,
is seeing online videos of dogs enjoying the iFetch Too! We care
about safety too. Under the power/distance setting button, there
is a button you can slide to lock the distance to 10 feet. No
matter how many times you press the button to adjust distance, it
will stay at 10 feet. This allows easy play indoors and is
recommended for early training until your dog learns to wait
behind (or beside) the iFetch Too when it launches.
Step 1: DROP Train your dog to “drop!” the iFetch tennis ball
into the top of the iFetch Too. We recommend using another ball
(showing another pretty blue ball will make them drop the one
they have) or using treats (yum) for motivation.
Step 2: FETCH Encourage your dog to “fetch!” once the ball
launches from the iFetch Too. You may need to launch a few balls
from the tennis ball machine at first, showing your dog that his
new toy actually throws the ball – it doesn’t eat it.
Step 3: REPEAT Now, coax your dog to “bring!” the ball back to
the iFetch Too for more fetching fun. Again, try using another
iFetch ball or treat to get them back behind the launcher again
and ready to drop. And don’t forget to shower your dog with
praise!
A family company on a mission to create better dog toys. We
started the company with a grandher / grandson tinkering
project in the garage, followed by a successful Kickstarter
campaign, and now almost four years of experience under our
belts. There are a lot of dog toys on the market, but we strive
for new and different. All of our products require some level of
training to be able to play with the toys independently, which we
think creates a wonderful bonding rtunity for owners and
their pets. Even if your dog never "gets" the idea of dropping
the ball into the top of the toy, you can still play and interact
with them through the toy. These shared experiences are special.
We like to think our toys are special too.
About the Startup Describe your product in 3 words.
y, fetching fun.
How did you come up with the idea for this product?
Once we developed the iFetch ball launcher for small dogs, we
were flooded with emails from customers wanting a larger version
for their big dogs. After another successful Kickstarter
campaign, we launched production of the iFetch Too.
What makes your product special?
We think our iFetch Too ball launcher is an engineering work of
art. We designed the launcher to only launch one ball at a time
on purpose. The mental energy it takes for a dog to understand
where and how to drop the ball so that it is automatically thrown
for him is pretty amazing. And mental stimulation is so important
for a dog's well-being. "Use it or lose it" applies to dogs as
well as humans. Our iFetch Too launcher is portable, durable, and
features an internal, rechargeable battery. All of these features
were important to our customers.
What has been the best part of your startup experience?
The best part of our startup experience is seeing the videos
owners post of their pets playing with our iFetch products.
Watching dogs get so excited waiting for the ball to launch makes
all of the hard work worthwhile. It is truly a family affair at
iFetch. Denny, though supposedly “retired”, is the CEO and
patriarch of the company. His daughter, Debbie left her medical
practice, to help run the company. And Grant, the idea
originator, has returned as our Sales VP to “launch” his career
with us (pun intended). It's been a wonderful journey.
