Wicked Ball SE Smart Interactive Ball vs LickiMat Classic Soother Slow Feeder Mat
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.
LickiMat Classic Soother Slow Feeder Mat
by LickiMat
The Classic Soother uses soft, fine-tufted texture to create a gentle licking experience that works especially well with peanut butter, yogurt, and other spreadable treats. Made from food-safe BPA-free TPR, it is freezer- and dishwasher-safe and is commonly used to calm dogs during stressful moments or introduce new pets to lick-mat enrichment.
