Common Questions

Does this come with a thrower gourd?

I feel Chuckit has voiced excellent toy throw in many reviews and might readily find.

Can my dog eat the balls?

Absolutely not. The reviewers say the heavier the duty gloves the less easy for dogs to chew.

Highlighted Reviews

"I like the foldable thrower because when I walk to the park it fits nicely on my fanny pack."

— Dan

"The white ball popped first after about 5 minutes. The orange balls seem a little bit stronger. The thrower is not made very well. It didn't break but it won't last long."

Bottom Line

It makes a great gift or fetch companion for dogs needing a challenge. Good for its purpose though not very long-lasting.
