Wicked Ball SE Smart Interactive Ball vs Potaroma Dog Puzzle Feeder Toy – Interactive IQ Training
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.
Potaroma Dog Puzzle Feeder Toy – Interactive IQ Training
by Potaroma
This Potaroma electronic puzzle feeder combines treat dispensing with beginner-friendly mental enrichment. It has a 280 ml food capacity, an included remote with roughly 80-foot range, voice recording and preset sounds, and adjustable treat output for different kibble sizes. Dogs can push a button or respond to remote-triggered dispensing, making it useful for enrichment, slow feeding, and reward-based play. The unit is rechargeable but includes electronic parts that require careful cleaning.
