Playing fetch with your dog can be one of the highlights of their days, but sometimes we just don't have enough time to mercilessly throw the ball around for thirty minutes (sad, but true). That's where this genius invention comes in: dubbed the Wicked Ball, this toy will actually play with your dog—or cat—for you.
The magical ball runs and bounces all over your home by itself when touched by your pet, and it doesn't need a human to throw it. It's fitted with three different reaction modes: gentle, active, and normal, depending on your pup's specific play personality. Oh, and don't worry about the Wicked Ball getting stuck under the couch—it's fitted with a built-in collision sensor for nonstop play.
But it won't be roaming around your house forever—the ball also has a built in intelligent companion mode, and will "rest" for a while to give your active pup a break from running.
This smart ball is also completely waterproof, for those pups that love to splash around and play in the pool. It comes in three colors—blue, light green, and yellow—so you can choose whichever one your dog will love the most. There's even an Wicked Ball made out of wool, which works especially well for cats.
