Frequently Asked Questions
Do cats get a chance to ‘catch’ the laser?
The laser occasionally stops during the play mode for a few seconds. This allows your pet to ‘catch’ the laser before it starts moving again.
How can I control DART?
DART has four different speed settings and four different timer settings. When the DART is first turned on, it is on the first speed and the 5 minute timer. To adjust the timer from 5, 10, 15, or 20 minutes, simply push the ‘Timer’ button. To increase the speed interval, push the ‘Speeds’ button.
How is the toy powered?
All of our laser toys use low-level lasers. BOLT operates with 4 AA batteries. DART, DART DUO™, and POUNCE toys operate with 3 AA batteries.

The length of the DART play mode can be adjusted using the timer. The DART timer can be set to turn off after 5, 10, 15, or 20 minutes.

Pug owners know what I mean when I say sometimes you need a moment alone. You'll have to find a means of protecting it from your destructive little demon. As you can see in the pictures we use a short stool as a barrier. The pillows make it seem like the dot is "hiding" and get thrown about or shook.

Our kitten LOVES to chase the laser pointer. I figured he would love this toy. When it showed up, it was super loud and clunky. The laser wasn't smooth and the toy seemed rather cheaply made. Reading reviews, we may have gotten a defective one. Regardless, We ended up returning it. We were disappointed but we prefer to just play with a handheld laser now.

Used a couple of times worked great, didn’t use for a week or so wouldn’t turn on acted like batteries died, but didn’t. Got it to work again. Turned it off would start again after a day or so being off. Changed batteries still wouldn’t start. Got it start then wouldn’t shut off had to take out batteries

I've had many of these over the years and they suck the life out of batteries in no time! I would never order again except when it does work my dog LOVES it. Please make a more reliable device!

Not as noisy as other reviews led me to expect. Too easy to have it on endless play due to unclear controls (an no instructions included). Only wish I could set it to play with the beasts while I'm at work.

In theory this laser pointer is a great idea. But actually...It's a hard pass. The toy comes in two pieces: there is the laser pointer, and then there is the base that it sits on. I have no idea why these pieces are separate but that's just a heads up for you. It's made entirely of plastic but it feels like if it fell from a table onto a hard floor it could crack or pieces could fall off. This toy is loud. As it rotates it sounds like a mini machine gun going off. I know that sounds weird but its kind of ridiculous. It's part of the reason why one of my cats (who is obsessed with laser pointers and basically won't play with anything else) generally just stares at it funny instead of In theory this laser pointer is a great idea.

It's part of the reason why one of my cats (who is obsessed with laser pointers and basically won't play with anything else) generally just stares at it funny instead of being focused on the laser. This thing pumps out a lot of noise. The laser itself, granted, spins in circles - but it doesn't have a wide range of lateral motion. And finally, my greatest two problems with this: For some reason, when I read that it had a timer - I was really hoping that it would have a timer so it would go off at random times throughout the day. But actually the timer is just for when you turn it on - you can decide when it will turn off...In 5, 10, 15, or 20 minutes. And you'll want to use it every time because this friggin thing takes 3 AA batteries and they are not included. I don't know when this product came out but it is 2018 and honestly everything should just be rechargeable. Hans says no, I say no..I regret this nearly 30 dollar purchase. … more

While it seems like a great way to entertain your cats who go crazy over laser lights and not have to flash the light yourself, for some reason, this toy entertains my cats for 5 minutes or less. Sometimes they are entertained, mostly not. I still turn it on, but they prefer that I personally flash the laser light by hand. Maybe they are spoiled brat-cats who demand my inclusion in their play?!

My Babies absolutely love this item. They would play all day long if I let them. My youngest kitty can’t knock this one over which she likes to do. Great toy!!!

My Bella Rae absolutely loves being entertained by this Automatic Rotating Laser. I enjoy watching her play and the convenience of having a timer for her play time without having to sit and hold a laser point is so much easier. I recommend this product to anyone, your cat's will love it!

Hannah Mae loves this laser toy. She actually chases the light for awhile before she lays back down and just bats at it. LOL It's good to see her a bit more active. Wish it had a plug in adapter though...batteries are expensive, but I would definitely recommend it.
