Lickin' Layers combines a slow feeder, licking enrichment toy, and treat puzzle into one design with layered or textured surfaces for wet foods and compartments for dry food. Dogs engage by licking, sniffing, and flipping or working through the structure to access rewards, making it a calming option for food enrichment and slower feeding.
