Battery-Operated Canine Companions

The Go-Go Dog Pal Gives Pooches Something to Chase

— May 24, 2012 — Lifestyle
The Go-Go Dog Pal provides canine owners with something they never can never give to their furry friend -- the ability to play for hours without getting tired or bored.

Powered by batteries and run using a remote control, the toy can zip around the park to be chased by a lucky pooch to its heart's content.

Designed to look like a critter that would normally entice a canine, such as a porcupine, woodchuck or squirrel, the robotic animal replica enables pups everywhere to get the exercise they need.

While throwing a Frisbee or a stick is a more cost-effective solution than this zippy toy, anyone with mobility issues, or lacking the willpower required to play fetch for hours on end, will find this a welcomed addition to their dog toy collection.

1. Battery-operated Pet Toys - Opportunity for innovative companies to develop more battery-operated toys for pets, providing hours of entertainment and exercise.
