With so many of us working from home these days, more and more of us are faced with the challenge of concentrating on our work while being distracted by our pets. Though we love them to bits, when we’re trying to get work done, it can get frustrating. So what do you do?

Consider getting some interactive toys for your pets (yes, even cats will play with a moving target). There are so many cool WiFi enabled toys out there that you’re really spoiled for choice. Let’s take a look at some of the bestselling interactive toys for your pets.

Peppy Pet Ball

Designed to keep your pets entertained while you’re away from home, the Peppy Pet Ball is a great toy for distracting your pets when you need to get some work done. Not only does it keep them amused, it also keeps them active.

Operated by inner hardware and a rechargeable battery, the Peppy Pet Ball can be programmed to last all day. That’s eight hours of bouncing and pouncing for your pet. The ball is designed to manoeuvre around and over objects and won’t get stuck in corners or under furniture. It simply goes into high gear and reverses direction. You can programme it to be active for certain time periods with sleeping intervals in-between. Choose between a number of different modes and let the fun begin!

The Peppy Pet Ball is available to order online directly from the website peppypetball.co and comes with a 30-day money back guarantee. You can choose from three different colours, blue, green or pink. It is made of high quality, pet friendly polycarbonate that is durable and completely waterproof. You can even use the Peppy Pet Ball in the water. This also means you can easily keep it clean.

Hours of fun for your cat or dog. 

The Pebby Pet Ball

In direct competition to the Peppy Pet Ball is another brand by the name of Pebby Pet Ball. This ball is the deluxe version with way more bells and whistles and of course, a higher price tag.

With WiFi capability, thе Pebby Ball comes with sensors, motion activators, a wide angle саmеrа and a built-in lаѕеr toy. Just download the app and control it remotely with your smartphone. The built-in camera allows you to keep an eye on your pet and you can make sure they’re being entertained while you’re gone. Here is a list of features:

• 1080p camera  – you can watch your pet live, take photos of them and film videos then post it all to social media from the phone app. 
• Two-Way Audio and Mic – allows you to talk and listen to your pets through your smartphone. Messages can be recorded so that they can hear your voice during the day when you’re not there. 
• Notification system – alerts you to the times your pet interacts with the Pebby Ball, so you can initiate play and set it in motion remotely.
• Autoplay mode – programs the smart ball into action and encourages your dog or cat to play and stay active. Great for those busy times when you have to get your head down and focus on your work.

When the ball is not in use, simply program it to return to its charging station so that it never runs out of power to keep your dog entertained. 

You can find the Pebby Ball on Amazon.

Automatic Ball Launchers

Another fun way to entertain your dogs is with an automatic ball launcher. These toys come with rechargeable batteries and can be programmed to launch balls at different distances, depending on the space. Again, it’s the kind of toy that can be used while you’re not at home to keep your dog entertained and more importantly, active and fit.

The best part of all these interactive toys is that they add excitement and exercise into your dog’s (or cat’s) life. Keeping them mentally stimulated and physically active will ensure they live a long and healthy life.
