Annual Awards Program Recognizes Top Companies, Services and Products Within the Global Pet Industry
LOS ANGELES, Sept. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The 2022 Pet Independent Innovation Awards, an independent recognition platform highlighting the most innovative companies, services, and products in the highly competitive Pet care industry, today announced Franklin Sports, a leading manufacturer and retailer in the sporting goods industry, has been selected as winner of the "Fetch Toy Product of the Year" award for their Ready Set Fetch Disc Launcher.
Franklin Sports' Ready Set Fetch Disc Launcher works for playing fetch with dogs, while also providing training, exercise and the ultimate in frisbee practice and games for all players. The disc launcher tosses flying discs automatically so all users need to do is load the discs for hours of catch and training.
Additionally, the disc launcher doubles as both a dog fetch and training toy as well as frisbee practice and game equipment - benefitting both dogs and their owners. The durable and quiet high performance launcher consistently tosses discs 85 feet to the desired location. The unit also features a variable speed motor to easily adjust distance and angle for different types of throws.
Powered by a long-lasting rechargeable battery and designed with tripod legs, the launcher is able to provide over 2 hours of fetch or catch and is portable for outings - IE the beach, park, backyard, and more. The machine also has an adjustable leg so that discs can be launched higher or lower for small, medium or larger sized dogs.
Lastly, the launcher is compatible with most standard 8.75" flying disks. Users simply insert the discs and let the automatic disc tosser do the work.
"What a great honor to be in the Winner's Circle of the Pet Innovation Awards. At Franklin Sports, we want to bring great ideas and products to all levels of sports participants - that includes pet owners and their beloved pets," said Adam Franklin, president of Franklin Sports. "Whether it's the backyard, the park - anywhere - we know both dog and owner benefit from fetch play which provides bonding and reduces stress through mindfulness and exercise. Our Automatic Disc Launcher for dogs, kids and adults is the perfect ultimate disc training tool to have a ton of fun and provide never ending games of fetch and catch."
