Infusing Mental Stimulation
Treat time is always fun time but usually the treats disappear so quickly the dogs are looking for another one seconds after they finished chewing. If I gave into Davinia and Indiana I would have two very fat Cavalier King Charles Spaniels in my house. They love treats and I am sure that your dog’s do too. But where could we find a thinking game that allows for the inclusion of healthy treats?Sure there are puzzle games but Indiana hacked those by the 2nd try. She stamps on the puzzle with her little paws and the puzzle pieces and kibble go flying around the room. Even if she only gets to use it once a year within 30 seconds she has sent everything flying. Cat enrichment toys pose more of a challenge because the girls actually have to use them the right way but those only fit kitty sized treats or kibble. I am not opposed to kitty treats – usually those have a calorie count of 1 – 3 calories per treat so easier to ration but Indiana has some new dietary restrictions that make those a special occasion treat only.The Hol-ee Gourmet collection of 2-in-1 treat toys encourages dogs to “play with their food!” The soft rubber shell openings are perfect for inserting your dog’s favorite treats and the inner nylon bone for spreadable treats, like peanut butter or freeze some of your dog’s canned food insideDavinia and Indiana spend a good portion of the day sleeping. Indiana can usually be found in the corner next to my desk sleeping the day away. She only gets up when I get up to grab something from another room. Davinia can generally be found on my bed moving from the blanket to my pillows and her bed on my bed throughout the day. They certainly are not running around the house and wreaking havoc. Which means finding something to stimulate their mind when they are awake is important to me.Petmate’s Hol-ee Gourmet is a fun way make your dog’s think in order to get their treat. Whether you decide to use the Himalyan Yaky Puff treats, that they come with or create your own stuffing your Cavalier is sure to engage their brain when trying to get their favorite goodies out through the outer hol-ee shell
