Dogs bolting their food can cause serious medical issues, so preventing it is imperative even in addition to wanting to keep them busy and making food time more engaging!

This is one of my favorite enrichment toys, because it is so versatile for small dogs of varying nose size and experience level. 

This version of Lambwolf Collective's incredibly popular "Nou" is sized down for small dogs, being thinner and shorter makes it easier for them to navigate around with it. This rose corduroy version has a texture which engages another set of senses for your dog.  I love this toy because it's SO versatile- you can change how it is tied as many different ways as you can imagine.

The Taart bed from the Lambwolf Collective is an incredible, affordable bed for small dogs, and is able to be both a snuggle warming bed in the winter and a cooling bed in the summer. My dogs love it.
