Looking for a few new ways to keep your dog busy? 🐶
Mental enrichment is an important part of your dog’s wellbeing. Giving them opportunities to sniff, lick, chew, forage and work for food helps keep their minds active, provides natural outlets for their instincts and can help prevent boredom. It can also encourage calmer behaviour and give them a positive activity to focus on.
We’ve put together some of the enrichment toys and tasty fillings available at our stores!
Lick mats let dogs work at their food by licking it from the textured surface. They’re great for making a small treat last longer, and the repetitive licking can help some dogs settle. You can also freeze a filled lick mat, which is especially refreshing in summer and helps it last even longer.
KONGs can be stuffed with food or pastes for a fun challenge. You can start with something easy to get out, then try freezing a filled KONG to make it last longer.
There are plenty of things to put in or on them, including pâté, dog-friendly peanut butter and squeezable pastes. Our Nova pâté is especially versatile: mash it into a lick mat, chop it into little training treats or slice it into coins. The Arden Grange pastes are handy for squeezing straight onto a mat, too!
Pop in store and we’ll help you pick a toy and some fillings your dog will enjoy!
