PupBox Monthly Puppy Subscription Box
by PupBox
PupBox is designed for puppies and their developmental stages, with a mix of toys, treats, chews, and training aids tailored to age and growth. Boxes can be customized by size, age, and allergies, and they also include educational materials for owners. It is especially useful for introducing safe chewables, enrichment, and basic training support during early life stages.
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.
