Dog enrichment is a tool in your arsenal to entertain your dog, to slow down their eating, to avoid things like bloat, occupy them whilst you go out or to work and to stimulate their brain - yes dogs need brain stimulation too. It's great for their health and well-being. Meal time for most pooches is over within seconds or a minute, using enrichment slows this down and makes it a more enjoyable experience.
Whether you're a pro enrichment enthusiast or a beginner, welcome to our slice of enrichment paradise! We are absolutely passionate about dog enrichment and you can see our love for it across our social media, like our Facebook, Instagram and Tik Tok!
Firstly we'll start with the fact that dog enrichment doesn't need to be or look fancy to get the same stimulation benefits! Your dog's brain will benefit greatly from enrichment and slow feeding regardless of how complex it is or what it looks like!

Please feed your dog a balanced diet. We typically use Raw4Paws in our bases and feed this daily. Use real eats in proportion and consult a nutritionist.
Below we break down foods into the following enrichment groups; Spreadables - this will form the base of your enrichment. Snacks & Superfood Additions - what you can add to your dog's enrichment!
Spreadables are your typical base level or "filler". Depending on the enrichment tool you're using, whether this be an eMat, Can Toy or similar - these will typically make up a portion of what you're using. Note, when using enrichment for full meals, this is where Raw or Kibble will be utilised.
Greek Yoghurt - any brand. Ensure Greek and not a flavour / sweetened.
Cottage Cheese - any brand
Raw Dog Food - our preference is Raw4Paws
Eggs - Chicken, Quail and Duck Eggs are our choice
Doggy Peanut Butter - not the human type. Avoid anything with Xylotal - poisonous to dogs.
Banana - mashed up
Cucumbers - shredded and mixed with Cottage Cheese is a favourite
Carrot - shredded and mixed with Greek Yoghurt is a favourite
Pumpkin - cooked and pureed
Sweet Potato - cooked and pureed
There are so many proteins that dog's can eat. Mixing it up is ideal for your dog's well being, ensuring they get a mixture of essential vitamins and nutrients. We do not recommend in any capacity feeding dogs a vegan diet. These are the common proteins we use:
Beef
Lamb
Chicken
Kangaroo
Turkey
Goat
Venison
Seafood dog's can eat - there is a lot! Probably a lot more than you were thinking. Here's a list of our favourites:
Squid (raw or cooked)
Scallops (cooked only)
Lobster (cooked)
Prawns (cooked)
Salmon - (raw or cooked). If feeding raw, freeze for 6 weeks prior. This kills any parasites. Remove any bones.
Crab (cooked)
Oysters - (cook, remove shell)
Sardines - (raw or cooked)
Flounder - Grill fillets for your dog
Whilst this is a great list of healthy seafood, avoid anything with long lifespans - such as Tuna or Swordfish. These are more likely to contain amounts of heavy metal due to polution which can have serious negative benefits.
Veggies and fruit are a dog's best friend too! Who would have thought? Dog's are omnivores and have eaten both meat and plants for thousands of years. In fact, they would eat the tastiest part of most animals (the stomach), which would included various vegetables and fruit in different stages of the fermented process.
