Treat-dispensing toys and lick mats bring quiet, grounding routines to a lively season.
They help pets relax during big gatherings, transitions, or any moment when the holiday energy feels overwhelming.
🍪 Why Slow Treat Play Helps During Christmas
🌿 Licking lowers stress and slows the nervous system.
Christmas treat toys help pets:
- calm during guest arrivals
- settle after overstimulation
- enjoy predictable routines
- soothe separation or travel stress
They turn “holiday chaos” into a gentle, regulated moment.
