Beat Dog Boredom — Enrichment That Works

Turn downtime into brain time. This collection gathers proven boredom busters—from puzzle feeders and snuffle mats to treat-dispensing toys, lick mats, and long-lasting chews—so your dog can de-stress, chew appropriately, and stay happily occupied. Curated by Canine & Co for real homes and busy schedules.

What you’ll find

• Puzzle toys & slow feeders: Challenge mealtimes, stretch focus, and reduce gulping.
• Snuffle mats & scent games: Tap into natural foraging to tire the brain fast.
• Lick mats & toppers: Calm-creating, low-mess options for crate time or post-walk wind-downs.
• Treat-dispensing toys: Durable options for solo play that reward persistence.
• Long-lasting chews: Satisfy chewing needs and help protect your shoes and skirting boards.
• Training essentials: High-value rewards and clickers to add quick, rewarding micro-sessions.

Pick by need

• Home-alone hours: Tough treat-dispensers or pre-frozen lick mats for steady engagement.
