Uses standard tennis balls, 9 distance and angle settings, works for any size dog.
PetSafe's launcher wins on versatility. It uses standard tennis balls — no proprietary supply needed — and offers 9 distance and angle combinations that cover anywhere from a hallway to an open yard. The motion sensor safety shutoff stops it when your dog is too close to the barrel. At roughly $130, it works for every dog size and comes with AC power or battery options.
