PetSafe Busy Buddy Twist ’n Treat Enrichment Feeder Toy
by PetSafe
This natural rubber treat toy separates into two halves that twist together, allowing you to fill it with treats or kibble and adjust the gap for easier or harder dispensing. Its simple rolling and chewing format makes it a flexible enrichment option for dogs that enjoy food puzzles without overly complex mechanics.
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.
