The Wickedbone is an interactive smart toy for dogs that aims to combat the feelings of anxiety that furry friends are prone to experiencing, especially when home alone.
The bone-shaped toy features app connectivity, enabling two-way communication that gives humans and furry friends some peace of mind. According to the brand, this supportive toy boasts an 'emotional system' that can react to how it senses a dog is feeling. This means, that the machine can detect when a dog is bored, scared, angry or content. What's more is that this device can wheel around the home, entertaining the dog while its humans are busy elsewhere.
The Wickedbone is perfect for both large and small breeds.
