Mental stimulation and enrichment
Enrichment is a great way to keep your dog busy and can also provide stress and anxiety relief, and an easy way to do it is through lick mats! Lick mats are a great way to help your pet sitter out by providing your dog with some anxiety relief and some stimulation to keep them busy.
We recommend putting anything dog friendly on there, we recommend using any of their favourite treats, such as yoghurt, dog friendly peanut butter or even their Nutriment dinners! They’re also great if you’re looking for a way to get your dog to eat a little slower!
We also have videos up on our social media of how we like to use the lick mats, so if your dog sitter is a little confused and needs a helping hand then let them know they can head over to our social media for some tips and tricks!
If your pet sitter can keep an eye on your pet while they are eating, then stuffing moo tubes or giving your dog a marrow bone is also a great alternative to the lick mats, also great enrichment which your dog is bound to love! However it is important to keep an eye on them while they are eating as it could be a potential choking hazard.
