Did you know that how you feed your dog can be just as enriching as a walk?

Instead of a plain bowl, try using a puzzle feeder, lick mat or snuffle mat to make your dog work for their meal. You can also scatter kibble in the grass or hide it around the house for a nose-work session. Mental stimulation like this helps tire dogs out, reduces boredom-related behaviours and builds confidence, particularly in anxious dogs. 🐾

💡 Ditch the bowl and make meal times a fun mental workout for your dog.

Speak with our team if you'd like more enrichment ideas or to book a consultation.

🦴Bones are a topic that divides veterinary opinion. 🦴

On the plus side, raw bones can help support dental health and provide mental enrichment. However, bones, particularly cooked ones, can splinter and cause choking, intestinal perforations or blockages.

Size matters too: a bone that's too small can be swallowed whole. If you do feed bones, always supervise your pet, opt for raw over cooked, and choose an appropriate size. When in doubt, ask your vet. ⚠️

Contact our clinic if you'd like advice on safe chewing options for your dog.
