iFetch Too (Large) Interactive Ball Thrower for Dogs- Launches Standard Tennis Balls
Description
The iFetch Too automatic ball launcher is a big dog’s
fetching dream! Once your dog places the standard sized tennis ball into the
top of the iFetch Too, this interactive dog toy throws it 10, 25 or 40 feet.
(Or set it to “random” to keep your pet guessing!) Features an internal
rechargeable battery and distance setting changes with a touch of a button.
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 grandfather / 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 opportunity 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.Healthy, 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.
