Overview
An automatic fetch machine built for small dogs, launching 2 inch mini tennis balls indoors or outdoors, and it ships with three balls included.
The launcher is aimed specifically at small breeds and is not sized or powered for full size tennis balls or larger dogs. It is intended for unattended or supervised fetch play indoors as well as outside. The listing recommends it for adult dogs and older puppies rather than young puppies still learning to fetch.

Who it's for
Owners of small dogs who want a hands free way to keep them active with repeated fetch, especially indoors. Owners of medium or large dogs, or dogs that fetch with standard size tennis balls, need a different launcher.
