Best For Ideal for medium and large dogs that enjoy self-moving chase toys and independent play sessions.

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.
