Chuck It! Review

Stop touching your dog's balls

Sorry, I had to. Our dog, Rudy, has a fetch fetish. She'll chase down toys, balls, blankets, sticks and rocks. She's a working dog and is under the impression that tossing things at your feet (or worse, in your lap) is her sole purpose in life. The trouble is, everything she picks up turns nasty. She can make brand new tennis ball look like a swedish meatball in 3 seconds flat. As much as I want to see her happy. . . I don't want to touch that crap! Enter the 'Chuck it'. A cheap plastic ball launcher that keeps your dog happy and your hands clean.

This thing rocks the casbah!

It's been said that "If your dog is getting fat, you're not getting enough exercise." The 'Chuck it' challenges that claim. You can easily fling a tennis ball 50 yards from a seated position. We once walked down to the park with chips and dip and had a nice glutenous picnic in the grass, while simultaneously testing Rudy's physical limits. She came very close to needed doggy CPR. The Chuck it runs about $12 or $15 for the deluxe model. We opted for the deluxe, with it's sexy ergonomic handle, and haven't looked back. It is, by far, the best investment we've made for Rudy. Screw that $200 a year heart worm medication! Buy the Chuck it Online at REI.com If you're struggling on what to get a fetching dog (or owner) for Christmas, this would make the perfect gift. It's a win win. It's easy to wear your dog out and you don't need to carry around wet naps.
