Match the Tool to the Job

Not every enrichment item does the same thing, so pick by the mood you need.

• Chews (bully sticks, rubber chew toys, or veterinary-approved dental chews) calm an anxious or wired dog through steady gnawing.
• Food puzzles burn problem-solving energy and suit a dog that is bored, not stressed.
• Snuffle and lick mats are gentle, low-arousal options for winding down before rest.

Reach for a safe chew when you need quiet, a puzzle when you need the dog genuinely occupied.
