This is not professional/ medical advice. These are all based on my personal experience. I’m not a paid sponsor for any of these items. I have included reviews where appropriate.

• Pupsicles- WOOF Pupsicle Refill Pops Amazon Link

• Pupsicle Silicone Mold Amazon Link

• Lick Mats Amazon Link

Notes:

• Pupsicles are advertised to last 20-40 minutes…my pup finishes them in about 5 minutes. So they aren’t a very cost-effective treat for her. But if your pup is a less aggressive licker, these refills, as well as a mold so you can prepare your own homemade pops, might be perfect for you!

• Lick mats have become very handy for grooming- I load them with wet dog food, freeze them and they last for a long grooming session.

“Safe” Chew Items- made of edible material, although not specifically intended for consumption

• Sticks- Pupstages Dogwood Dog Chew Toy (Size Large) Amazon Link

• Wet food, adult, Purina Pro Plan Chicken and Rice Amazon Link

• Snuffle mat Amazon Link

• Slow feeder, West Paw Toppl toy Amazon Link

• Slow feeder, puzzle ball Amazon Link

Notes:

• My pup uses her snuffle mat for almost every meal, occasionally uses the puzzle ball or other puzzles like toilet paper rolls.

• Similar to the lick mats, the West Paw Toppl toy can be filled with wet food and frozen. This will provide a long licking session.

Hydration

• Veken Innovation Award Winner 95oz/2.8L Cat Water Fountain Amazon Link

• Veken Cat Water Fountain Filters, 8 Pack Replacement Filters Amazon Link

• Elevated Dog Bowl Stand Amazon Link

• Kalimdor Leak Proof Portable Dog Water Bottle (19 oz) Amazon Link

• Water bowl, collapsible, with carbiner for easy carrying Amazon Link

Notes: my pup is incredibly low-maintenance. She isn't picky. But the one thing she obviously prefers is drinking running water. So I chose to get her a drinking fountain (ignore that it's call a cat fountain...she can't read so she doesn't care). It has radically increased her water intake and I'm immensely pleased with this product.
