Product Information

Good thinking on the soft bristled toothbrush for cleaning them. I can imagine that being perfect for removing any caked on peanut butter from the tight grooves. Thanks for sharing this great tip! One can simply put your dog’s regular meals across the mat and add some sodium-free bone broth. Then freeze the food on the mat. This way your dog gets their usual daily calorie intake, but in a much more fun and interactive way that keeps them busy for longer. 2. Cottage Cheese Just as before, we recommend the larger size. You don’t have to cover the entire mat if you don’t need to. We recommend choosing the large size because it provides more room to smear food. I took advantage of the extra space by using it to offer my dog different foods at once. One strip of peanut butter, one of pumpkin, and another of cream cheese. My pup loved it!

Interesting recommendation on Vegemite, are you based in Australia? I only ask as Vegemite is hard to come by here in America and is considerably more expensive than yogurt or peanut butter. To be honest, I don’t have any experience with it. I’ve never even tasted it. No one likes to be bored, and your dog is no different. When dogs become bored, they often express themselves with problem behavior. From chewing on furniture to loud barking – not what you want, right? Dogs can enjoy small, bite-sized seedless watermelon cubes as a refreshing treat. Watermelon is not only hydrating but also contains essential vitamins and minerals. The high water content in watermelon can help keep your dog hydrated. Remember to remove the seeds and rind them before serving. 17. Spinach puree This article was written by Steven Rowe, who has been a pet parent to two rescue beagles. Both beagles were retired research laboratory dogs and were adopted to give them a better life in their “retirement” years. Due to their history, both beagles were very nervous in their daily lives when they found themselves in new situations. Steven understands the importance of working with an anxious dog to help them calm themselves in a way specific to their individual needs. Simply smear food over the mat and give it to your dog. Because of the flat design, your pooch will not be able to lift the food with his teeth. Instead, he has to use his tongue to remove every last piece of the tasty treat.Puppies are notorious for chewing everything during their teething stage, which means they will likely tear chunks off the mat and potentially swallow them. So wait until your puppy grows up a little more and can better control themselves while eating. Organ meats, like liver, are highly nutritious and contain vitamins (such as vitamin A, vitamin D, and vitamin B12), minerals (like iron and copper), and other beneficial compounds that support various bodily functions in dogs, including energy metabolism and immune health. 8. Peanut butter (free of xylitol) Bananas — Mash up some bananas and spread them onto the mat. You can also freeze the mashed-up bananas on the mat for some healthy, pet-friendly ice cream. On the testing with shared dogs, we went with yogurt which is easier to clean due to it being less greasy than peanut butter. You are right, they are certainly more suitable for a domestic setting Especially if you are using harder to remove oily substances like peanut butter. hate baths. Mention the word ‘bathtime,’ and our two Labrador testers will hide behind the couch. Meanwhile, I have to physically place my pup in the bathtub and hold her by the collar while my husband scrubs and rinses the suds out of her wooly coat. We all get covered in water as our pup puts up a fight.

Does your dog wriggle, push and escape from bathtime? Maybe your dog turns into an anxious mess every time a thunderstorm rolls in… Make sure to spread the goodies with a plastic knife or silicon spatula, etc., instead of a regular knife to avoid cutting the mat. Plus, keep in mind that any foods you use should be served in moderation. Serving your dog or cat too much human food or excessive amounts of food at once can upset their tummy. Does your dog become an anxious mess around strangers? Or perhaps, thunderstorms cause your pooch to shake and panic. Our Labrador tester was another success story. He tore the ACL in his leg a few years ago and since then snaps at anyone who touches him below the shoulder. Grooming him has always been difficult.As mentioned previously, the Neat-Lik Mat can also help your dog or cat slow down when they are eating. So, if you tend to have a speedy eater, it’s definitely worth it. Eating slower can help avoid various issues like GDV , choking, and more. But where the Aquapaw Slow Treater really shines is in the bathroom. The three suction cups held strong no matter where we placed it – shower glass, side of the bathtub or even the tiled wall.
