First up, this amazing snuffle mat from Ameami. As of the time of this writing, theres a 25% off coupon! Snuffle mats engage several of the dogs senses and make them slow down and sniff.
If you need a heavy duty ceramic slow feeder, LE TAUCI has you covered. Some dogs get frustrated with slow feeders and are prone to flipping them – they’d have a much harder time with this one!
I really like this 3 in 1 enrichment feeder available for less than $20, its one of the best out there. It’s definitely worth bringing home today if you have an appropriately sized dog.
This one has a special place in my heart, as its Pandora’s absolute favorite so far! Its a very large, heavy duty slow feeder currently marked down to less than $10! The deep feeder allows you to stuff things in the bottom and freeze it so there are goodies under the kibble.
While we’re at it, here’s Voodoos favorite feeder insert! He doesn’t chew on it or flip them, so a lightweight bowl insert is perfectly fine for him.
This Rubix cube slow feeder is SO STINKING CUTE and marked down right now. I wish they made them for giant dogs!
Here’s a multi level slow feeder on multiple markdowns! This will keep a dog busy for a good long while.
Another multi level slow feeder, this one is better for bigger snoots. Its only dual level, but much more accessible for those big puppers.
If you just need an insert for a regular bowl, this is a great cheap option that is pretty universal. Id recommend these for… less gifted dogs.
If you want an elevated slow feeder and water bowl, never fear, you can find one here! This is so cute and if I had an appropriately sized dog, Id have one!
Here’s a fun button pressing puzzle feeder that keeps being fun even after the dog figures out the trick! Many feeders lose their appeal to the dog after awhile, but this one keeps on going.
A very popular brand just had an enrichment feeder go down in price AND it has a 35% off coupon right now. Well worth looking into at least, they don’t come this cheap that often.
There are also cheap treat balls! These are very simple and can be used by any animal – we have one for the bunny!
If you just need something cheap to keep them occupied awhile, this puzzle feeder is less than $10! Such a good deal.
This UFO maze toy could keep dogs occupied a long time and is currently marked down – some dogs may even play with it when empty!
This inexpensive enrichment feeder keeps them occupied for a long time, especially if you put some yummy treats in the bottom.
If you need something nearly indestructible, this toy can stand up to most destructive dogs.
These mats are perfect for low stress enrichment feeding. Just toss the kibble on and good enough!
Lickimat makes a lot of enrichment feeders, but this wobble ball and this yoggie cup are my favorites for feeding meals. You can line them with some sort of spread and then fill with kibble.
A cheaper lickymat type option is this one – offering spots for both kibble and things to lick. I love my multipurpose products
Last on the list is this large honeycomb feeder, great for giant dogs. It can be hard to find things big enough for them, but Pandora could definitely enjoy this one.
Ditch the regular old bowl and make meal times more enriching and fun! You and your dog will be happier, and your dog will have much more to do to stay busy and work out some energy while they’re at it! I always have a collection of enriching feeder options available, you should consider trying it too!
