Puzzle Feeder

A puzzle feeder or food dispenser toy for your dog is a great way to keep your pooch occupied as it will take up a lot of time and mental exercise. If you're busy and can't provide your pup with as much attention as normal, or if your dog doesn't like to be home alone, this is a great tool to use for short term distraction.

Usually, this is a rubber toy which delivers treats or food when your pup bites and chews at the toy. A KONG type toy is a great example - fill with food, dog-safe peanut butter or yoghurt or their favourite treats.Just ensure that the hole in the toy isn't too large or the pup could get their lower jaw stuck.

A food toy can help prevent your pup from feeling bored or lonely - especially as licking is a naturally self-soothing action for dogs - as well as helping your pup to eat more slowly as they will have to work for each bit of food. This is a rewarding toy that will hold your pup's attention for hours!

Homemade Christmas Treats for Dogs

Homemade treats are easy to make and can be a lovely surprise for your pooch, particularly during celebrations! Have a go at these homemade dog treats but remember to keep their diet in mind and award them sparingly!

Maybe isn't not your own dog you want to treat this year, so if you are buying a gift for another pooch in your life, does their personality match their owners? The best presents are always those that match an interest or are useful for their lifestyle together.

And don't forget to include your dog in a Christmas dinner all of their own, just make sure you know what they can and can't eat to keep them safe and healthy all through the holidays!
