Why it matters
It fires any brand of standard tennis ball. Plug in the included adapter or use 8 D batteries (not included). A motor dial sets distance, an optional alert sound warns before each launch, and adjustable feet change the angle three ways. 90-day warranty.
Who it's for, and who should skip it
Good fit if

Pros and cons
Pros
- Standard balls
- Alert sound
- Battery option
Cons
- Short warranty
- Bulky
- D batteries
Limitations to weigh
- Supervise launcher play, teach your dog to approach from the side, and cap sessions; some dogs will fetch past exhaustion or fixate on the machine.
- Use only the ball size the launcher is made for, and make sure the ball is too large for your dog to swallow.
- Skip long fetch sessions in heat and give water breaks; puppies and dogs with joint problems need shorter, gentler play.
