Lick/Sniff Mats
Licking is a natural behavior for dogs, and lick mats provide a way for them to engage in this activity while also working for their food. It is a mental stimulation and promotes calm behavior.
Great option for a simple easy enrichment. Can be filled with peanut butter or plain greek yogurt.

This is one of my dogs favorite activities!!Snuffle mats tire dogs out as much as physical play because when your dog is vigilantly using their sense of smell to sniff, they are also using substantial amounts of energy to focus.
