Need a bit of time to prep your dinner, make a call or empty the bins? Occupier toys<\/a> and LickiMats<\/a> can be an absolute life saver for those times you need to give your dog something to do. Plus, they’re great for mixing up mealtimes and stimulating their brains too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At tails.com, we’re big fans of both, that’s why we’ve put together 2 boredom busting recipes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
