It’s unfair, but you may not always be available to play when your dog wants to. Whether you’re at work, out of the house, or just asleep, sometimes your dog may need a healthy way to have fun on their own. The Wicked Ball is an interactive pet toy that runs on automated play and rest cycles to keep your pup engaged without overstimulating them, and it’s on sale for $34.99 (reg. $49). 

A dog toy for when you’re not home 

There may be a better way for your dog to spend their alone time that doesn’t involve gnawing at your furniture. This Kickstarter-funded dog toy is totally automatic with three interaction modes to keep your pet occupied. Puppies who need a way to get all that energy out may respond well to the active setting. The gentle setting could be a good fit for older dogs, and the normal setting is the middle ground between them. Set up Intelligent Companion mode to initiate 10 minutes of play followed by 30 minutes of rest. 

All dogs are different, but the Wicked Ball even plans for food-motivated pups who only get up if it’s to sniff out a snack. Add a few treats to the built-in snack hole to add a tasty edge to playtime. 

The Wicked Ball is a smart piece of equipment, but it’s still built like a dog toy. That means it’s made to stand up to biting, gnawing, and scratching. It’s even waterproof, so your drooling Saint Bernard or Bloodhound can join in the fun, too. 

Keep your dog busy while you’re at work 

Give your dog a new toy to keep them happy, engaged, and playing while you’re out of the house.
