Easter Enrichment LickiMat Recipe

Easter is a time when many of us gather with our loved ones — and why should our four-legged family members be left out?! Treat your pup to a festive homemade goodie made with delicious, nutritious ingredients and lots of love. Our Easter Enrichment LickiMat Recipe incorporates yummy Easter faves like eggs 🥚 and carrots 🐰. Served on a LickiMat, it also doubles as an enrichment activity that’ll help keep your doggo entertained and anxiety-free so that they’re on their best behaviour amidst any holiday chaos. We’ve also included pumpkin purée to keep doggy stomachs nice and calm… even if your bud does manage to snatch some scraps of human food off the dining room floor.  

Ingredients:

• 1 LickiMat 

• 1 Egg

• Canned Pumpkin Purée (NOT pumpkin pie mix)

• Healthybud Joint Booster Treats

• Healthybud Mini Training Treats

• Plain Greek Yogurt

• Shredded Carrots

Instructions:

1. Prep Lickimat 👨‍🍳: Grab your LickiMat and lay it flat on the kitchen counter. 
2. Cook & Prep Egg ♨: Begin by boiling one egg. Once cooked, allow the egg to cool before carefully peeling and chopping it into small pieces. 
3. Combine Pumpkin Purée & Greek Yogurt 🎃+🍶: Mix 1-2 spoonfuls of plain Greek yogurt and pure canned pumpkin in a bowl.
4. Spread Mixture 🥄 : Using a spoon or spatula, spread a generous layer of the mixture across the surface of the LickiMat. 
5. Sprinkle Shredded Carrots & Banana Chips 🥕+ 🍌: Sprinkle shredded carrots over the pumpkin purée/Greek yogurt layer. Throw in some crumbled banana chips too for an extra crunch of potassium!
6. Add Egg Pieces 🥚: Evenly distribute chopped egg pieces over the pumpkin purée/Greek yogurt and shredded carrot. You can also incorporate crushed egg shell, which is a great source of calcium for dogs and perfectly safe so long as it has been boiled.
7. Crumble Healthybud Joint Booster Treats 🐾: Grab a handful of Healthybud Joint Booster Treats and crumble them over the entire surface of the LickiMat. These treats are specially formulated to support your pup's mobility and reduce joint pain while adding a delicious chewy texture to the mix.
8. Garnish with Mini Training Treats 🦴: Finish off your Easter Eggstravaganza by garnishing with some Healthybud Mini Training Treats. Since they’re bite-sized to begin with, they’re already the perfect size for a LickiMat creation.
9. Freeze & Serve ❄️: Once all the ingredients are layered onto the LickiMat, place it in the freezer for a couple of hours to allow the mixture to set. Once frozen, present the LickiMat to your pup and watch their tail way as they indulge in their Easter treat.
