Nerf Dog Trackshot Launching Duck Dog Toy – 16.5-Inch Fetch Toy for Medium & Large Breeds, Green

The Nerf Dog Trackshot Launching Duck is a 16.5-inch fetch toy designed for medium and large dog breeds. It uses an elastic slingshot that lets you launch the toy up to 75 feet, saving your arm from repetitive throwing. The bright green color makes it easy to spot outdoors, and the toy is built with a woven nylon exterior and a tear-resistant polyurethane rubber coating to withstand rough play.

How do you use the Trackshot Launching Duck?

Using the Trackshot is straightforward: place the duck toy in the slingshot, pull back the elastic band, and release. The toy launches high into the air, up to 75 feet. The mechanism is designed to reduce strain on your shoulder compared to manual throwing. After your dog retrieves it, you can reload and launch again. The toy is intended for outdoor use only; do not aim at eyes or face.

Is this toy durable enough for aggressive chewers?

The Launching Duck is made with a sturdy woven nylon shell and a tear-resistant polyurethane rubber coating. This combination is designed to hold up against biting and tugging. However, no toy is indestructible. The manufacturer recommends supervising your pet during play and removing the toy if any part becomes damaged. The materials used are part of Nerf Dog's 'Nerf Tough' quality standard.

Key specifications

What makes this toy different from a regular fetch toy?

The Trackshot Launching Duck includes a built-in elastic slingshot that propels the toy without you having to throw it manually. This can reduce arm fatigue and allow longer play sessions. The toy is also designed to be aerodynamic, flying in a high arc so your dog can track it visually. The tear-resistant coating helps it resist punctures from teeth, which is a common problem with plush toys.
