GlowThrow Ball Launcher for Dogs


The GlowThrow promises to revolutionise the game of fetch allowing you to play with your dog in low-light conditions and even at night! 

If you live a hectic life and get home at dusk or much later, you know how hard it is to give your dog some good exercise! The GlowThrow is perfect for those dog owners who get home after dark and also people who happen to live in areas that get far less natural sunlight during the day, especially in winter!

WHAT IS THE INSPIRATION BEHIND THE GLOWTHROW?

A 12-month labour of love has seen the GlowThrow developed and tested by Lachlan Scott, a pet-centric lighting industry professional whose 7-year-old Whippet named "Chicken" simply loves night time walks! 

Lachlan Scott is an industrial lighting expert who has worked as the Project Development Engineer and Sales Manager for a global lighting industry giant recording annual sales of A$8.98 billion. 

“I worked very long hours and there can be so much emotion wrapped up in this as a dog owner. I felt so guilty working late. Our Whippet really has a way of tugging at your heart strings. I think it must be the same for every pet owner who also finds themselves in our situation,” expressed Lachlan Scott, the Director of GlowThrow. “


No matter how late my girlfriend or I get back home, the GlowThrow now allows us to get the most out of our walks! This has helped nurture the bond we have with our dog who feels so much like a part of the family. I guess a lot of people will be able to relate to our story.”

WHAT ARE THE GLOWTHROW MAIN FEATURES?

  • Super bright glow-in-the-dark ball for maximum visibility
  • High-powered LED light built neatly into the head of the launcher
  • LED light doubles as an illuminating torch when not charging the glow-in-the-dark ball.
  • A fortnight of daily night time dog walks from a fully charged rechargeable battery (1200m Ah Li-Ion)
  • Micro USB charger port to charge the battery
  • Exceptional ergonomic handle with over moulded rubber for secure grip comfort
  • Flexible neck for long throws
  • Fully sealed the launcher is cleanable under water


GlowThrow is designed with your dog's overall wellbeing and safety in mind.

It features a powerful inbuilt LED to charge the glow-in-the-dark ball whereby the LED and battery are located within the launcher rather than the ball. This eliminates the risk of dogs accidentally eating the electronics while playing fetch!

What's more, the unique design allows for a sustainable bright glow experience during every walk as the LED charges the Phosphor.

Dog Eye Injuries can be a Vet Emergency

Eye injuries in dogs and cats are common and are usually caused by trauma (such as a fight with another animal), a foreign body in the eye, infection, an inability to form lubricating tears, or an abnormality in the eye.  WHAT ARE THE SIGNS OF AN EYE INJURY? Presentations for these include squinting, pawing the eye or face, watery eyes, a discharge from the eye, the eyes can look red or inflammed, the pupil size may be abnormal, or the pet simply appears uncomfortable or in pain. But when is this an emergency and when should pet owners seek veterinary help? Most injuries that appear superficial occur to the cornea. This is the outer layer of your pet’s eye. There are many very thin layers to the cornea and the seriousness of the injury depends on how many of the layers have been damaged. Injuries to the outermost layer can heal quickly with medication in little time. However, the deeper the injury, the greater the chance of scarring or blindness which often requires surgery to prev...

Oliver, the Staffy cross - what a difference a month makes! Animals, just like Oliver.
