Enrichment toys for dogs

First think about what the moment should give your dog: calm, movement or a longer meal.

Bloom Slow Feeder and Wave Slow Feeder are bowls that are used in the same way. They have compartments and grooves that hold wet food, fresh food and other soft food, and both can be filled and frozen before serving. The difference from a lick mat, which is a flat mat with a pattern, is that the bowls have a rim and a suction cup that keeps them in place. There is more about the bowls under slow feeders.

Choose a ball your dog cannot predict. An ordinary tennis ball bounces straight, and the dog quickly learns where it will land. Twister Ball has twisted ribs and bounces in different directions, so the dog has to stop, hesitate and change direction. According to the product description, ten minutes with the Twister often tires a dog more than half an hour with an ordinary ball. The holes make the ball easy to carry in the mouth, and it rolls slowly enough to play with indoors.

Serve the food in a bowl that moves. Wobli Bowl wobbles during the meal without tipping over, so your dog works for its food at its own pace. The bowl takes dry food, treats or soft food and can be frozen when filled.

Pour broth, dog smoothie, wet food or fresh food into the Isform Hund ice mould and freeze. Each mould makes six treats shaped like paws and two shaped like bones, in food-safe silicone that is easy to clean. The treats work as a cooling snack when it is hot, or as enrichment all year round. The mould can go in the freezer but must never go in the microwave.
