Cheerble Wicked Ball Air – Motion-Active Ball for Medium/Large Dogs vs Ethical Pet Seek-A-Treat Shuffle Bone Puzzle Dog Toy
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.
Ethical Pet Seek-A-Treat Shuffle Bone Puzzle Dog Toy
by Ethical Pet
This bone-shaped beginner puzzle uses sliding or shuffling panels to hide treats underneath, encouraging dogs to use their nose and paws to uncover rewards. Made from compressed wood and cardboard-like materials, it offers a lightweight, simple introduction to puzzle play but is more sensitive to drool, moisture, and rough handling than plastic alternatives.
