"We have both of these Blasters. One shoots a shorter distance, and the other can shoot as far as 2 neighbors yards away. My Golden is OBSESSED with this toy. She is very high energy, and this helps her burn off some of that pent up energy."

— Regina

"Bought this at discount store for same price. Dogs tore up the balls in 5 minutes."
