There was once a time when playing fetch with your dog involved a a person, a ball and a dog. Not anymore if you look at all the different products there are on the market to play fetch with your furry family member. So what exactly do these ball launchers do that we can’t? Are they worth it?

The Nerf Dog Tennis Ball Blaster was secretly one of the launchers we were most excited about testing with the dogs. Well look at it, you would be too wouldn’t you? Playing with your dog has never been easier thanks to NERF. Is a NERF dog gun safe for boisterous dogs?Dog ball launchers are great because you can suddenly throw more than one metre. They aren’t so great because they are so long and cumbersome, though. If desiring an automatic dog ball launcher, you’re going to have a very tough decision to make when considering power sources.

Size Calculator

We bought the 64 cm launcher to play fetch with the dogs at Benafim Shelter. Now we have seen this type of ball launcher before but have never used one. Opening this, it definitely doesn’t have the ‘ooooh this looks fun’ factor like some of the other toys, but do not let appearances put you off. Well it works and launches the ball, but we did expect it to go further. At best this launches a ball at 6 to 7 metres, but then the ball does bounce or continue to roll adding some distance. Almost all dog ball launchers use the average tennis ball as their model, but this isn’t necessarily ideal for small breed dogs. For dinky dogs, try and find a launcher which utilises smaller sizes of ball, as they need to be able to get their chops around it! Opposingly, you also need to be careful you don’t buy balls and launchers which are too small for your dog, as they could swallow or get smaller balls lodged in their mouth or throat!
