Wicked Ball SE Smart Interactive Ball vs LickiMat Tuff Heavy-Duty Dog Slow Feeders
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 Tuff Heavy-Duty Dog Slow Feeders
by LickiMat
The LickiMat Tuff series is designed as a more durable alternative to softer lick mats, using a thick rubber-like food-grade material with non-slip feet for stability. Its deeper textures hold wet, raw, and chunky foods more effectively than many standard mats, helping extend licking time for enrichment, slower feeding, and anxiety relief.
