What is dog enrichment?

Dog enrichment refers to activities and products that encourage your dog’s natural behaviours — such as chewing, sniffing, licking, and problem-solving. Enrichment toys and feeders keep dogs mentally stimulated, physically engaged, and less prone to boredom or destructive habits.

Why are enrichment toys good for dogs?

Enrichment toys help prevent boredom, reduce stress and anxiety, promote slower eating, and encourage mental stimulation. They’re especially useful for high-energy breeds, puppies, and indoor dogs who need extra stimulation.

Are LickiMats safe for dogs?

Yes, LickiMats are designed from non-toxic, pet-safe materials. They’re safe to use with wet food, soft treats, or dog-friendly spreads like peanut butter. Always supervise your dog during use, especially heavy chewers.

How often should I use enrichment toys with my dog?

Enrichment toys can be used daily — during mealtimes, as a boredom-buster, or as part of training. Rotating different types of enrichment (lick mats, puzzles, stuffable toys) keeps things fresh and engaging for your dog.

Which enrichment toy is best for my dog?

The best enrichment toy depends on your dog’s age, size, and chewing style. Puppies and gentle chewers may enjoy puzzles or lick mats, while strong chewers may benefit from durable, stuffable toys designed for toughness.
