Wicked Ball SE Smart Interactive Ball vs PAW5 Wooly Snuffle Mat — Feeding Mat for Dogs
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.
PAW5 Wooly Snuffle Mat — Feeding Mat for Dogs
by PAW5
A premium handmade snuffle mat made from a cotton-polyester-spandex blend, designed to mimic deep grass or underbrush so dogs can forage for kibble and treats hidden in the fibers. It also works as a slow feeder and can double as a soft resting spot for small dogs. The mat is machine washable and is especially suited for dogs that benefit from enrichment or slower mealtimes.
