K9 Kannon Dog Ball Thrower Launcher for Dogs, All Breeds Up To 60 Pounds, With One Hyper Pet 2.5 Inch Tennis Ball, For All Breeds

We use this ball launcher 3 or 4 times a week for about 20 shots each time with our dog. We purchased it two months ago and we are very happy. Can a 20 year old person throw a ball further? Yes, but we are in our 60's. Plus, you can use the end of the ball gun to "pick up" the tennis ball for the next launch without having to bend over. So it is already loaded in the gun. This does not sound like much, but if you are shooting the ball 20 times, then it is a nice feature that you don't have to bend over each time. It also allows us to get the ball without competing with our dog! March 2026 Update: We originally purchased the gun Aug 2022. The rubber band that propels the ball finally broke. That has been the only issue we have had. Unfortunately it does not appear that we can order a replacement rubber band, but it appears I can substitute 1/4 inch tubing to replace the rubber band, which I will try. This has been a great gun. I will purchase it again it my "fix" does not work out. We cock the gun to about the 3rd click and it shoots about 20-25 feet when we hold the level with the ground. It would shoot further it we cocked it further. Some reviewers mentioned the large rubber band weakened over time, but we have not experienced that. If we do, we'll cock it to the 4th click! The other thing some reviewers mentioned was part of the trigger mechanism broke after a short period of time. We have not experienced that either, but we are gentle with the things we purchase. I am not saying you have to handle the gun with white gloves, but if you are mistreating an object it is going to break. We have noticed a difference in how far fresh tennis balls will go versus those that are VERY dead; but again, this is expected. I am happy with how far it shoots most of the tennis balls we have. The other great thing is this gun takes the standard size tennis balls. If this gun breaks in the future, I will DEFINITELY purchase another one! Very happy with it.

I have had one for my dogs, this is the third in 10 years. They love it and so do I. The only thing is the bands start to wear out. But the company had sent us some new ones. They are Really Great and saves your arm from throwing the ball.

Its a great idea but my concerns are that they break to quickly. There is an interior piece that snaps after about 30-45 days usage. But its great for the dogs -saves your arm.

If you have a doggo that will play fetch with a tennis ball until they drop, you will want to get either this, the NERF, or the Chuckit ball launcher, which is about 1/3 the price. The Chuckit will send the ball further than the Hyper Pet will, as it amplifies your throw, much like a hand held clay pigeon thrower, but my point here is that you are still basically throwing a ball. The Hyper Pet is a basically a plastic and rubber band version of a PIAT (Projector, Infantry, Anti Tank)....a spigot mortar. And like the PIAT, it has a bit of a limited range. Not a problem though for the average sized back yard. To me, pulling back a cocking plunger repeatedly is WAY less work than actually throwing a ball until your fur baby is worn out. Assuming your subservient quadruped isn't freaked out by the ratcheting noise of cocking the "gun" and the thump of firing it, they will love it. The Hyper Pet launcher is similar in power to the NERF launcher, but having tried both, I prefer the Hyper Pet. So much so that I have purchased 4 of them in the past 5 years. Why 4? Well, they are rubber band powered. A really thick powerful rubber band, but rubber will degrade over time. Especially if left outside in the desert heat like mine were. Another problem is the cocking handle itself. Perhaps also from the heat, but one of these handles actually broke. It wasn't me...somebody else broke it. I suspect that they didn't pull it straight back. I actually did keep this one alive for a while by splicing the 2 broken pieces together with some epoxy and aluminium strips. I also replaced the degrading rubber band at the same time with rubber tubing. However, given the amount of time and effort I put in, plus the reduced performance, I decided that it was easier just to replace the whole thing. So, bottom line- if you get tired whilst playing fetch with your furry friend before he/she does, give this one a try. I have spent a LOT of time outside chilling in a comfy chair with a tasty beverage, and surfing the interwebs while my bork-bork happily chases and brings back a ball like it was her job.

This Hyper Pet K9 Kannon Dog Ball Thrower Launcher for Dogs is awesome! Our Bella absolutely loves to play ball with this. She is a lab/pointer and this is the absolute best toy for her! She will not play with a ball by just tossing it; we have to use this launcher! And she doesn’t know when to stop; we have to make her stop playing.

Got this two years ago and now the rubber band inside is all tangled so not sure what happened but got two good years of use. it work great saved my arms dog loved it

Works great. My dog likes chasing the ball, or catching it when I shoot. Helps keep his anxiety down

My baby loves this gun but unfortunately it doesn't last long. The 2nd one we got he was able to fix twice but not anymore so I ordered another one because she can't live with out it😆
