PAW5 Wooly Snuffle Dog Feeding Mat vs Wickedbone SmartBone Interactive App-Controlled Bone
PAW5 Wooly Snuffle Dog Feeding Mat
by PAW5
The Wooly Snuffle Mat is a soft, handmade feeding mat designed to mimic natural foraging by hiding kibble or treats among fabric strips. Dogs sniff, nose, and paw through the folds to find food, which helps slow meals and adds scent-based mental stimulation. It is machine-washable and made from a cotton, polyester, and spandex blend that is gentler than hard plastic puzzles.
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.
