A great invention revolutionizes playing

Your dog wants to play, but you do not have the time? iFetch can help. The automatic ball throwing machine for dogs is guaranteed never tired and always has enough time.

The idea for the iFetch came about by accident when teenager Grant sat in the kitchen one afternoon doing his homework. His little poodle Prancer, however, had other things in mind. He would much rather play with his master and put him repeatedly the ball at his feet. It did not want to end. Prancer just did not want to get tired of getting the ball. All at once, Grant wondered if you could not develop a machine that threw the balls.

So the idea for the toy iFetch was born. Together with his grandfather Denny, who supported the idea of his grandson from the outset, Grant built the first prototype of the ball throwing machine. In 2013, they launched their Kickstarter campaign and received an incredibly positive response. They had not expected that. Meanwhile, dogs around the world play with iFetch.

iFetch: That's how it works

iFetch comes with three balls. These are pretty much the size of conventional tennis balls. The machine turns on automatically when the ball is put in by your dog. Then she shoots him either three meters, six meters or nine meters. Depending on which distance iFetch was set before.

The ball throwing machine shuts itself off when the ball has been shot down. To use the machine, both batteries and the power cord can be used. So iFetch can be used everywhere. It does not matter if your dog wants to play outdoors or in the garden.

How much fun playing with iFetch makes and how you can train your dog to handle the device properly, you can see below in the various dogs videos.

What also the manufacturers of iFetch know: Most dogs still play with their masters. But if they can not do it, that's no longer a problem.
