Neater Pets Stainless Steel Slow Feed Bowl
by Neater Pets
The Neater Pets Stainless Steel Slow Feed Bowl uses a raised center hub instead of maze ridges to slow eating while keeping the design simple and hygienic. Made from stainless steel with a rubberized non-skid base, it is available in several sizes and is a durable option for dogs that dislike plastic bowls.
Wickedbone SmartBone Interactive App-Controlled Bone
by Wickedbone
The Wickedbone SmartBone is a bone-shaped smart toy that combines automatic behavior-responsive play with app-controlled movement. It can chase, tease, and avoid a dog on its own, or be driven manually to roll, spin, and flip through a smartphone app. The toy is USB rechargeable and built with an FDA food-grade polycarbonate body, rubber tires, and detachable end caps for easier maintenance. It is best suited for dogs that enjoy chasing motion rather than heavy chewing.
