Highlighted Reviews
"Works great! Sometimes we want to watch TV and our puppy just isn't into it. We can sprinkle some kibble or treats on this mat and offer it up as a solo activity and treat and by the time she finds all the little bits she's satisfied and ready to settle down on the couch with us."
Bottom Line
Great for light engaging until nibbling and complete bandwidth de-feeding.
