iFetch Interactive Dog Ball Launcher – A Quick Look

iFetch Ball Launcher Specifications

Small and Large Size Ball Launchers

Easily the most unique feature of the iFetch Interactive Ball Launcher is that it comes in two sizes – small and large. Almost all interactive ball launchers are designed for big dogs specifically. Obviously, this launcher checks off this mark if you select the larger size.

Most ball launchers, however, forget about smaller dogs. This causes the larger throwers to throw the balls simply too far for little dogs, or it projectiles the balls out too forcefully, causing potential injury and hazard. By offering a small size, however, the Interactive Ball Launcher is perfect for smaller pooches who love an intense game of fetch just as much as the big dogs.

iFetch Great Launching Distance

As you would want with any automatic ball launcher, the iFetch throws balls a great distance. Depending on the model you select, it can throw balls 10 to 40 feet. This allows you to customize the launching based on your dog’s size and whether you use the tool inside or outside.

If you select the small model, it can launch mini tennis balls either 10, 20, or 30 feet. For the larger model, it will send regular tennis balls 10, 25, or 40 feet. The 10-foot option is best for indoor use, whereas the 30 and 40 foot option is best for outside use and interactive dogs.

Warranty and Customer Care for iFetch

If you look at the price of this interactive launcher, it is more expensive than other models. Because of the warranty and customer care, however, this price is incredibly fair. Plus, your dog will love the launcher, allowing you to get a lot of use of it.

As an iFetch product, the Interactive Ball Launcher is made by the Hamill family, the brand’s creators and owners, in Austin, TX. Plus, all of their products are tested by their own dog named Prancer. This customer care is tough to beat in today’s economy.

More so, the product comes with a 1-year warranty. If you have any issues, you can call or email, and they will be more than happy to help you out or replace the launcher if it is defective.

Smaller Dogs Beware

The one thing to be cautious about when ordering the Interactive Ball Launcher is small dog safety. Even if you order the smaller size, the small tennis balls are shot out pretty forcefully. This can pose a health risk to your small pooch.

Because of this fact, we discourage buying this product if your small dog has health problems or is elderly. For other small dogs, make sure to monitor their playtime pretty carefully to ensure that they know not to stand right in front of the contraption.

In addition to our own experiments with the iFetch Interactive Ball Launcher, we wanted to learn what the other users said. This gives us a much more comprehensive perspective on the tool since it ensures we didn’t get a fluke.

Almost all of the customers were pleased with their product.

Users also noted that the three distance settings made the launcher suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, which was a hit.

Even though the Interactive Ball Launcher was loved by most users, there were a few drawbacks. For example, many users noted that the battery dies quickly and that the balls were not the best quality. Dogs that are chewers can especially chew off the felt on the outside of the balls.

A few small dog users also noted that the small size sent the balls flying forcefully, causing the dogs to get injured or yelp. This certainly is a serious complaint that needs to be taken into consideration before purchasing a launcher for your small dog.

Small dog owners, however, should be cautious when purchasing and using this product. Some small dogs have been injured because it throws the balls out too forcefully. Just make sure to watch your dog carefully when they’re playing. If you supervise play time, you and your dog should have a lot of safe fun!
