Brightkins Brain Teaser Treat Puzzle Dog Toy vs Wicked Ball SE Smart Interactive Ball
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.
Wicked Ball SE Smart Interactive Ball
by Cheerble
The Wicked Ball SE is a smart automated ball designed for small-breed dogs. It uses LED lights and three play modes—normal, gentle, and passive—to roll, bounce, or shake in response to movement. After about 10 minutes of play, it enters a roughly 30-minute sleep mode before reactivating. It is made from natural rubber and TPU, includes obstacle avoidance technology, and has an IP65 water-resistant design for indoor or outdoor use.
