JacJac Swimming and Fetching His New Water Loopies toy

Here is a recent video taken in Sentosa Tanjong Beach showing JacJac swimming out to sea to fetch his new Water Loopies aqua toy.



I have searched high and low in Singapore for a quality aqua toy for dogs but most were unsatisfactory. The main problem if you are a dog in the water is that your vision will be limited by the fact that your head (and thus eyes) is going to be very low in the water. 

It is not good if a toy simply floats on the surface. It makes very little difference as you would hardly be able to see it if it was thrown a long distance. As such, we could throw a floating object/toy no more than 5 metres away for good play-fetch. 

In addition to the above, the surface floating toy will cause dogs to ingest a large amount of sea-water in the process. If you do not already know, drinking too much sea-water will cause dogs to have the runs. Think of the potential mess and many people would swear not to let their dogs swim in the sea again. 

I'm happy to say all the above problems have been tackled with this Water Loopies aqua toy for dogs (I doubt you will be able to train a cat to fetch anything, much less swim and fetch). No doubt JacJac still drink some sea-water but it's greatly reduced as he is able to hold up his head and hold onto his toy at the same time. The throw distance is also much farther (as far as I can throw it). Almost half the toy "stands up" from the water and is easily visible. 

Remember, an exercised and tired dog has a happy owner!
