Wicked Ball SE Smart Interactive Ball vs Starmark Treat Dispensing Chew Ball (Large)
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.
Starmark Treat Dispensing Chew Ball (Large)
by Starmark
The Starmark Treat Dispensing Chew Ball is a durable ball-shaped enrichment toy made from a tough synthetic material marketed as stronger than typical rubber. Dogs can roll, chew, and paw it to release treats or kibble, and it also bounces and floats for active play indoors or outside.
