Starmark Treat Dispensing Bob-a-Lot Dog Toy (Large) vs Wickedbone SmartBone Interactive App-Controlled Bone
Starmark Treat Dispensing Bob-a-Lot Dog Toy (Large)
by Starmark
This wobbling dual-chamber treat dispenser uses a weighted anti-slip base so it bobs and tips as dogs nose or paw at it. Adjustable openings on the top and bottom let owners control how quickly kibble or treats are released, making it useful for both play and meal dispensing.
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.
