Enrichment Feeding For Dogs
Enrichment Feeding for Dogs
Enrichment feeding is more than just mealtime — it’s about keeping your dog’s mind and body active. At Bonza, we stock a range of enrichment feeders designed to make eating fun, slow down fast eaters, and provide healthy mental stimulation. From puzzle toys to lick mats, enrichment feeding helps prevent boredom, supports calm behaviour, and turns every snack or meal into a rewarding challenge.
Why Enrichment Feeding is Important
Dogs are natural problem-solvers and foragers. Without enough mental stimulation, they can become bored, anxious, or destructive. Enrichment feeders give them an outlet for their natural instincts while helping with:
-
Slowing down eating – great for dogs who gulp their food
-
Promoting calm – licking and chewing reduce stress
-
Preventing boredom – keeps your dog entertained for longer
- Supporting dental health – chewing and licking encourage saliva production

-
Slow feeders – encourage dogs to eat at a healthy pace
