As I am sure your mother told you, dogs are a huge responsibility to take care of, and if you don’t have the time, chances are you do not have the energy. But, this does not deter many people from getting dogs anyways. For this reason, the company Go-Go Dog Pals has created an interactive dog toys that run on energy that is not your own.

 

 

The latest Go-Go Dog Pals creation is a remote control car designed to withstand the predatory chase of the dog. This is not your ordinary dog toy, it comes with a dual 280mm high torque motors, its 4 wheel drive, double suspension so it can be driven on many terrains. The chassis resembles a groundhog, and is made of a smooth durable plastic. The most impressive feature, it can go as fast as 21 mph.

 

 

The idea is that you sit back have fun controlling  the Go-Go Dog Pal while watching your dog go crazy in the chase. It is difficult to actually catch the toy because of its smooth chassis except for its tail. But if your dog does catch the antenna tail, it only weighs 3.9 pounds so there is no worries of pulling it out. Even if Rufus does fulfill its killer instinct, all parts are replaceable.

 

 

The remote uses a long distance 2.4 GHz digital radio control system and the Go-Go Pal comes with a rechargeable Ni-Cd battery and a cool $300 price tag. We love our dogs, so what is $300?

    This interactive dog toy is really very interesting. I also watched some other cool video of Go-Go Dog Pal and really appreciate the idea of using remote control in a dog toy. Well, the manufacturer of this remote control dog toy is currently hosting a giveaway. So, it's a good chance to get this dog toy for FREE. You only need to like their Facebook Page and post a picture of your dog on their wall and tell why you should win a Go Go Dog Pal.

    Hi Cabe,

     

    I bought a $40 USD RC vehicle to play with my dogs.  Everything was fine until my little Jack Russell Terrier caught it and proceeded to rip the tires off.  She continued to drag it and shake it as long as I ran the motors.  It was hilarious.  One of the best entertainment dog toy ever.

     

    $300 is a bit pricey given the high probability that your dog will trash the thing as soon as it can catch it.

     

    Good post, it put a smile on my face. image
