3. A snuffle mat to exercise pup’s mind.
A tired pup is a good pup, but it may be hard to tire him out if he’s supposed to be on bed rest. For the dog who’s needing a bit of R&R, try exercising his mind.

It’s an enriching way for your dog to eat her food. 2. It slows her down to help her digestion. 3. The textured surface can be soothing and relaxing when licked.
