Description:
The Wicked Rugby is an advanced interactive toy that combines automatic movement, intelligent play modes, and responsive squeaky feedback. Wrapped in a classic rugby-inspired shape, this toy is engineered to keep your dog engaged whether they are playing indoors or out. Unlike traditional fetch toys, the Wicked Rugby uses smart technology to bounce, roll, and react to your dog’s touch, making it the ultimate companion for pets that love to chase and play like a pro.
Built with a focus on both durability and safety, the toy is crafted from FDA-certified E-TPU. This high-performance material is tough enough for regular play yet lightweight and gentle on teeth and gums, making it a safer alternative to hard rubber. With its eco-friendly construction and specialized sound system, the Wicked Rugby provides a stimulating sensory experience that satisfies a dog's natural hunting and play instincts while remaining easy for owners to maintain.
Key Benefits:
- Three Intelligent Play Modes: Features Normal mode for automatic rolling, Passive mode that responds to paw touches with unpredictable jumps, and Gentle mode for slow, soft movement suited to shy dogs.
- Pressure-Sensitive Squeaker: Includes a realistic football squeak that only activates with proper bites, providing rewarding feedback for your dog while preventing constant noise fatigue for owners.
- Durable E-TPU Construction: Made from lightweight, non-toxic, and vet-approved materials that offer advanced resistance against chewing while supporting dental health.
- Play-Rest Balance Technology: Automatically manages your dog's energy levels by entering a 30-minute rest period after 10 minutes of active play to prevent overexertion.
- USB-C Supercharge: Offers rapid power-ups, with a 30-minute charge providing up to 4 hours of active playtime for your pet.
- Safe and Lightweight Design: Specially weighted for easy tossing and carrying, the soft-yet-sturdy material ensures safe play for dogs of all breeds and sizes.
- Automatic Obstacle Avoidance: The smart internal sensors help the toy navigate around furniture and walls, ensuring the game continues without getting stuck.

My dog loves this toy. He was a bit hesitant of it at first, but after a couple days of gettijg use to it he has come to really enjoy it. I like how it has 3 different modes, is rechargeable, and appears to be quite durable. Great for when we get busy and dont have as much tike to play with him.

"Amusement For Man And Dog Alike"
Posted byAdam T Doscheron13th Oct 2025Originally posted on cheerble.comThis small, fairly inexpensive dog toy is a great way to distract, engage and entertain your furry companion for hours. It is easily disassembled for recharging and within roughly 75 minutes you will have a full charge again. You can select between 3 different modes of operation. On its highest setting this toy will move and bounce and shake for about an hour. On its lowest setting the toy remains charged for up to 3-3.5 hours of maximum play time. But even if this toy is not powered it remains viable as entertainment for your pet as a chew toy or a good old-fashioned game of fetch. Both you and your pet will find amusement with it. I am very pleased to have this for my 1 year old family dog who cuddles with this ball as a favorite toy in its bed. The durable shell of this toy is both pet safe and easily cleaned. Replacement shells are available for purchase but I doubt you'l need to do this often as they are tough as nails.
My dog loves this ball. He chases it around for hours and the battery lasts a long time so he has plenty of time to play is the perfect size and he loves that it rolls around and he has to chase it
"Fun and engaging toy, but inner part could be stronger"
Posted byPerezn1on23rd Sep 2025Originally posted on cheerble.comI was really excited to try this smart interactive dog toy, and overall it has been a fun addition for my pup. The design is unique and the material feels solid and durable. The outer shell has a nice quality to it, and the squeaky feature definitely grabs my dog's attention. It bounces, rolls, and moves around in ways that keep him entertained, and it holds a charge long enough for a good play session. For the most part, it works as described, but I did notice a problem on the inside. After some use, a piece inside seemed to give out and it no longer held the same pressure or spin as before. Because of that, it doesn't wobble and shake as much as it should. It's still usable and my dog still enjoys it, but I could tell the internal mechanism wasn't as strong as I had hoped. That said, I do think this is a clever and well made toy overall. The concept is great, the materials on the outside feel sturdy, and it definitely helps with boredom and keeps my dog active. If the inner part had held up better, it would be perfect.
