As much as you wish you could, you can’t be there for your dog every minute of the day. What you can do is make sure your dog is having fun and staying stimulated while you’re at work or on vacation. Wicked Ball is an automated interactive dog toy that was funded on Indiegogo and Kickstarter. It’s totally automatic, and you can get it on sale for just $39.99. 

A great toy for your furry best friend 

Dogs tend to be active animals, and they need stimulation and exercise to remain happy and healthy and distracted from your delicious furniture. You may not be able to throw a stick far enough to play fetch while you’re at work and your dog is at home, but this automated toy can take care of things while you’re away. 

Wicked Ball has three interaction modes: gentle, normal, and active. To select your setting, just twist open the ball to access the control buttons. That’s also how you charge it. On a single charge, the Wicked Ball could last for up to eight hours of play, and it can recharge in as little as one hour. 

Depending on the level of activity, the ball will roll, bounce, and zoom around for your pet. It has built-in collision sensors to avoid obstacles, and it even has a built-in snack hole for those food-motivated pets. The whole ball is made to be waterproof, scratchproof, and very sturdy. It’s also FDA-certified and safe for your pets to chew.

Wicked Ball even knows when to rest if your pet gets tired. Intelligent companion mode provides cycles for 10 minutes of play and 30 minutes of rest so your pet doesn’t wear themselves out or get over-stimulated. 

Keep your pet active while you’re out of the house 

If you’re looking for a toy to keep your dog busy, try this automated ball. For a limited time, get the Wicked Ball for just $39.99 (reg. $49).
