Brightkins Brain Teaser Treat Puzzle Dog Toy vs Cheerble Wicked Ball Air – Motion-Active Ball for Medium/Large Dogs
Brightkins Brain Teaser Treat Puzzle Dog Toy
by Brightkins
This flat puzzle board uses eight movable pentomino-style pieces to hide treat compartments underneath, encouraging dogs to slide, spin, and shift pieces to uncover rewards. The BPA-free plastic construction and non-slip base make it suitable for beginner enrichment sessions, and the board also works as a slow feeder for dogs that gulp meals too quickly.
Cheerble Wicked Ball Air – Motion-Active Ball for Medium/Large Dogs
by Cheerble
The Wicked Ball Air is a larger automatic motion toy designed for medium and large dogs that enjoy chasing moving objects. It rolls, bounces, and rotates on its own using three play modes—normal, gentle, and passive—and is built with a thicker shell than the smaller SE version. The toy is water-resistant, somewhat quieter than many electronic balls, and supports replaceable shell options for extended use. It is intended to encourage independent activity but is still not suitable for aggressive chewers.
