There are three switchable modes to match a dog's preferred play style, whether they like to engage with toys that are slow-rolling or bouncing. Since some dogs aren't satisfied until they've well and truly destroyed their toys, Cheerble encased the [smart component](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/petoi-bittle-x) in a shell that can be replaced as needed. This durable outer component takes the form of a 100% pet-safe, bite-resistant, low-noise E-TPU outer shell with a unique whirlwind design. Knowing that pet owners can't always invest dedicated time for pet play, Cheerble created the Wicked Ball Air to help pets keep themselves entertained and as a result, feel happier, tired and less anxious. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 7.0/10 - Popularity: 95% | Activity: 86% | Freshness: 29% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Pets](https://www.trendhunter.com/pets) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Eco-friendly Pet Accessories:** The development of 100% pet-safe, bite-resistant eco-materials highlights a shift towards sustainable and durable pet products. - **Automated Pet Entertainment:** Innovative play modes in pet toys ensure pets stay mentally and physically stimulated even in the owner's absence. - **Interchangeable Pet Toy Components:** Replaceable outer shells for pet toys offer a modular approach to pet entertainment, extending product lifespan and customization options. ### Who This Affects Most - **Pet Products:** The pet products industry sees a rise in advanced interactive toys designed to cater to the emotional and physical well-being of pets. - **Eco-friendly Goods:** An increasing number of eco-conscious solutions are being made available within various consumer goods industries, including pet accessories. - **Smart Technology:** The integration of smart technology into everyday items such as pet toys is becoming more prevalent, offering enhanced user experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [App-Controlled Interactive Dog Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/app-controlled-interactive-dog-toys.md) - [Self-Moving Smart Dog Balls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wicked-ball-rolly.md) - [Multi-Mode Smart Cat Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheerble-wicked-ball-m3.md) - [Responsive Egg-Like Pet Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/interactive-pet-toy.md) - [Geometric Designer Dog Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sphericon-dog-chew-toy.md) - [Oversized Spherical Dog Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/herding-ball.md) - [Interactive Canine Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/interactive-canine-toy.md) - [Glowing Indestructible Dog Balls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/haus-of-dog-trooper.md) - [Ergonomic Dog Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/earth-rated-dog-toy-collection.md)
