Gift the puppy parents in your life an interactive dog ball

TL;DR: The Cheerble Wicked Ball Cyclone is just $47.99 at the Mashable Shop as of Dec. 12.

Got someone on your holiday shopping list who just adopted a new puppy? Or even someone with an energetic dog of any age? We’ve got the perfect gift: the Cheerble Wicked Ball. And for a limited time, you can grab the Cyclone version, which is more durable, for just $47.99 (regularly $55.99).

The Wicked Ball Cyclone can help keep pups entertained while humans get their work done. Once a dog interacts with it, it will begin active play for 10 minutes, followed by 30 minutes of rest. It rolls on its own, flashes its light, spins, hops, and more to get attention. With its three interaction modes — gentle, normal, and active — users can select the intelligent companion experience that suits their dog.

Keep in mind that it’s not designed for aggressive chewers. Despite its protection mechanism, which stops the ball from running when the outer shell is opened, it’s still better for gentler dogs.

The IP67 waterproof outer shell means this ball can be used outside, even on rainy days. It can even be cleaned with water, as long as the outer shell is fastened tightly and securely.

Here’s a peek at how it works:

After securing over $1 million on Indiegogo and Kickstarter, Cheerble’s Wicked Ball is available for $49.99 for the basic version or $55.99 for the Cyclone version. For a limited time, however, you can snag the Cyclone version on sale for $47.99 — just in time for the holidays.
