Chews

• Gorilla wood chews
• Yak chews
• Bully sticks
• Better bone
• Cardboard boxes are also a lot of fun for dogs to destroy, especially puppies and adolescent dogs.

Mental Enrichment

• Food puzzles – I like to use canned pumpkin, plain Greek yogurt, store-brand peanut butter as the filling for some of the below items. Always check the ingredient list for xylitol, which is toxic to dogs. If you’re unsure whether an ingredient is safe or appropriate for your dog, ask your vet.
  • Classic Kong

  • Westpaw Toppl, Qwizl
  • Snuffle mat
  • Lickimat – great for occupying dogs during grooming/baths

Treats

• Red Barn Beef Roll
