A simple way to enrich your dog’s life while keeping yours easy is to add lick mats to your feeding routine. You can buy the mat at a local pet store, or order it online. Then, figure out what kind of pet-safe food your dog likes, including plain greek yogurt, soft dog food, bone broth, carrots, blueberries, kibble, etc. Spread the softer foods onto the mat, getting it in all the grooves, stick the solid food on top, throw it all in the freezer until solid, then give it to your dog to enjoy. This will give you some time to sit back and relax while their brain works hard to get every last bit of food off of that mat. It not only works their brain but can cool them off on hot days.
