Cheerble Wicked Ball Air – Motion-Active Ball for Medium/Large Dogs vs Outward Hound Fun Feeder Interactive Dog Bowl
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.
Outward Hound Fun Feeder Interactive Dog Bowl
by Outward Hound
The Outward Hound Fun Feeder is a maze-style slow feeder bowl made from food-safe plastic with ridges and pathways that help slow down fast eaters. It comes in multiple patterns, challenge levels, and sizes, supports both wet and dry food, and includes a non-slip base for added stability.
