Keep fetch moving, one mini ball at a time.
The Pawtique FetchMate Mini Ball Launcher is a compact automatic fetch machine designed for the included 5 cm mini tennis balls. Drop one ball into the wide top funnel, select a launch distance and let the machine send it into a clear play area while you supervise.
Made for repeatable fetch sessions
Three selectable distances: Choose approximately 3 m, 6 m or 9 m (10 ft, 20 ft or 30 ft) to suit the available play space.

Simple rear control: One button cycles through the three distance settings, with indicator lights showing the selection.
Compact mini-ball format: The set uses 5 cm mini tennis balls rather than standard-size tennis balls.
Regional power option: Choose a US, AU or EU plug adapter to match your location.
Flexible power setup: Use the included plug-in adapter or the built-in battery compartment. Batteries are not included.

Responsible play
This launcher is intended for supervised fetch, not unsupervised chewing. Use only 5 cm balls that are clearly too large for your dog to swallow. Keep hands, faces, pets and breakable objects out of the launch path. Inspect balls before every session and replace any ball that is torn, split, heavily compressed or otherwise damaged. Keep the launcher and adapter dry; do not use in rain or immerse in water.

This has been great for indoor play, especially when the weather is bad. My pup still gets to run around and burn off some energy.
We have an American Eskimo with far too much energy. This machine is great in theory but the challenge with our dog was getting her to drop the ball without it bouncing out or missing the small option they presented. I decided to make it easier by using my Dremel to cut the bottom out of an inexpensive disposable salad bowl. In time I can probably remove it but for now it’s a great help for training.Note that it’s meant tor small yards. Distance per setting is about 5’, 10’ and 15’ - add the bounce and in a small yard it will keep a smaller dog active.
