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.

Made Easy Family Car Travel with Dog Car Travel

Sporn Marrow Chew Bone

The Sporn Marrow Chew Bone (originally called the Yuppie Puppy ) is a jerky-flavour filled chewable nylon bone, which promises to control tartar and plaque, assisting with your dog's dental health. After putting it to the test for a number of years with our three Belgian Shepherds, we can attest that it is great for the toughest of chewers and may even save some of your furniture or shoes. Especially recommended during the puppy phase, when your dog is constantly teething and needs something to chew. Chewing this bone is similar to brushing their teeth. As the nylon shreds, it becomes like bristles, removing tartar and plaque build-up from the teeth. These interactive dental chew toys are unique to most other flavoured nylon bones as the marrow is added after the bone has been moulded and cooled. After trialling other brands on the market, we found that the marrow makes the difference and keeps our dogs coming back for more. Our dogs can surely smell it long before they can t...
