About Us

At Chuck It® Ball, we believe that pets and people share a special bond that should be nurtured through playtime and quality time together. That’s why for over 20 years, we’ve been dedicated to creating innovative dog toys that allow pet parents and their four-legged friends to enjoy endless hours of fun.

It all started in 1997 when our founder, Mark Oblack, was playing fetch with his dog Duncan at the park. Mark got tired of having to constantly pick up a slimy, wet tennis ball, so he decided to create a ball launcher that could throw balls much farther. With some scrap plastic pipe and ingenuity, Mark invented the very first Chuckit!® ball launcher.

Word spread quickly about this revolutionary fetch toy, and people asked Mark where they could buy one. Seeing the demand, Mark patented his design and officially founded Chuck It® Toys in 1998. The Chuckit!® ball launcher was an instant hit, allowing people to throw tennis balls over 3 times farther so dogs could run farther and faster.

Growing a Business Out of a Shared Passion

As longtime dog lovers, we’ve made it our mission at Chuck It® to create quality toys that make those special moments between pets and their owners last even longer. We know that dogs’ favorite activity is playing fetch, so we design uniquely shaped balls and discs that provide erratic bounces to keep your pup guessing.

Over the years, we’ve expanded beyond ball launchers to also offer a wide range of fetch toys, chew toys, flying discs, glow-in-the-dark balls, and more. While our product line has grown, our commitment to innovation has stayed the same. We’re constantly developing new materials, textures, glow features, and designs to engage dogs’ senses and enrich fetch time.

Our staff includes dedicated pet lovers who know firsthand that a game of fetch is about more than just exercise. It’s a chance for laughter, joy, and bonding that builds an unbreakable friendship. We apply that perspective to everything we do.

Safety First

While coming up with fun new toys is our passion, your pet’s safety is always our top priority. We carefully select durable, non-toxic materials and test our prototypes extensively before any product ends up in your pup’s mouth or your hands. We also partner with pet health experts and organizations to make sure our toys promote your dog’s well-being.

Over the years, we’ve remained committed to keeping manufacturing in the USA which allows for stricter quality control. We’re proud to say that all Chuck It® balls, discs, launchers, and toys meet or exceed global toy safety standards.

Built for Durability and Distance

Your dog wants you to push them to run farther and play longer during exciting games of fetch. That’s why our toys are designed for maximum durability, grip, and aerodynamics.

Our ultra-durable Chuckit! balls have a minimal amount of bounce but maximum spring so they can roll and skid unpredictably to mimic small fleeing prey. The lightweight plastic and rubber materials are easy to grip and throw over 200+ feet!

For canines who love to leap and catch, our Chuckit! Flyer discs glide smoothly and offer long-range flight patterns. We’ve perfected the thin, flexible plastic to be gentle on dogs’ mouths but strong enough for aggressive chompers.

And no dog will be able to resist chasing our Chuckit! Fuzzballs. Their long, frayed ropes and tennis ball cores take irregular hops along the ground. The chenille fabric resists shredding and has a satisfying texture when gripped.

No matter which Chuck It® toy you choose, you can trust it’s engineered for superior performance during intense fetch sessions. We want you and your pup to be able to play without limits!

Explore Our Product Lines

With over 300 unique fetch toys and award-winning ball launchers, there’s something for every type of dog at Chuck It!. Here are some of our most popular product lines:

Chuckit!® Ball Launchers

Our iconic ball launchers revolutionized fetch by allowing you to throw balls three times farther without straining your arm. Made from lightweight plastic, these handheld wands give you superior grip and leverage for launching tennis balls hundreds of feet.

We offer a range of launcher sizes and styles including classic, folding, and hands-free versions. Attachments like glow-in-the-dark balls, whistling balls, and ball storage units are also available to enhance your launchers.

Ultra Ball and Mega Ball

The Chuckit! Ultra Ball is our signature extra-large ball made of durable natural rubber with a tactile corded exterior. Its oversized design gives dogs an easier grip during tug of war and shaking games.

We also make the Chuckit! Mega Ball which is even bigger at 6″ in diameter. It’s perfect for large breed dogs and loving chompers. A variety of bright colors and glow-in-the-dark options are available.

Breathe Right® Balls

Breathe Right Fetch Balls have a unique porous design that allows air to pass through the ball as it travels, reducing moisture and keeping the ball lighter. High-visibility colors help dogs track the balls even at night.

Small holes let you fill the ball with treats or kibble to add another element of fun to fetch time. Dogs will love the erratic bounce and rolling action which triggers their prey drive.

Indoor Fetch Toys

Dogs need exercise even when you can’t get outside to the park. Our indoor fetch line includes soft foam balls, plush toys, nylon squeakers, rubber fetching sticks, and more.

These toys are designed with special materials to protect your floors and furniture. Their quiet action and responsiveness makes indoor fetching fulfilling but less chaotic.

Floatables

If your pup loves to make a splash, our floatable fetching toys are just the thing. The extra-duty rubber and buoyant cores allow these balls and bumpers to be tossed into lakes, pools, and oceans.

Retrieving floating toys allows dogs to exercise their natural swimming talents. A fun variation on traditional fetching!

Launchables

The Chuckit! Launchables take air time to a whole new level. Made of flexible plastic, these frisbee-like discs can soar over 125+ feet through the air. Your dog will love leaping, twisting, and racing after them.

Bright colors and glow-in-the-dark patterns make these discs visible even at night. Their thin, pliable mouths are gentle on your dog’s bite. Choose from assorted styles including dual discs and flyer rings.

Tug Toys

Engage your dog’s wrestling instincts with Chuckit! tug toys. These durable two-handled ropes, rings, and animal shapes are specially designed to withstand hours of pulling, gnawing, and shaking by determined pups.

Built-in squeakers and crinkle paper provide added sound rewards to excite dogs as they roughhouse. And the frayed ends have a stimulating texture when bitten. Our tug toys help satisfy dogs’ primal thrashing behaviors.
