Wicked Ball SE Smart Interactive Ball vs KONG Gyro Interactive Treat Dispensing Dog Toy
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.
KONG Gyro Interactive Treat Dispensing Dog Toy
by KONG
The KONG Gyro features a rigid outer ring with a spinning center orb that dispenses small treats or kibble as the toy rolls and tumbles. It offers a lighter, simpler style of enrichment than more advanced puzzle toys and is available in small and large sizes for short play sessions.
