Ditch the Bowl: Try Scatter Feeding

Have you tried it? Next mealtime, skip the bowl and scatter the food across the grass instead.

Scatter feeding means spreading your dog's meal out over a patch of yard instead of pouring it into a bowl, so they have to sniff it out piece by piece.

Why it works

• Can be used around distractions
• Good for anxious dogs, fearful dogs, and reactive dogs
• Lets their nose do the work
• Encourages natural foraging
• Provides mental stimulation
• Helps dogs decompress

No special gear needed — just the same food that would've gone in the bowl, spread out instead.
