Grate ½ a small apple (peeled and minus the pips, please), add diced red pepper, a bit of grated carrot and a smear of dairy-free yoghurt, and finally add a few kibbles for crunch. 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. The surface patterns of the three models differ a little to better suit different types of foods, treats and liquids. All three surfaces are suitable for raw, wet, dry and liquid dog food, as well as any manner of treat. For extra fun pet interaction, you can freeze different liquids in stages to provide a very long lasting treat.

The natural rubber surface have different designs that suit different types of food and treats. All models are suited to spreads such as peanut butter, yogurt, purees and the like. The Playdate holds liquids well and is suited chunky foods and small kibble. The Buddy suits mushy foods, wet foods, sardines and the like. The Soother suits wet and liquid foods and juice/gravy.Most of our testers 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. Buddy™ has a more complex surface and still allows separation of foods and treats. The Buddy is especially suited to raw food. Just as before, we recommend the larger size. You don’t have to cover the entire mat if you don’t need to.

Simply spread watermelon, top with blueberries or your dog’s favourite treats and pop in the freezer to firm up. Does your dog become an anxious mess around strangers? Or perhaps, thunderstorms cause your pooch to shake and panic.

Her mood changes, and she looks sad and anxious – it breaks my heart.

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.
