Lick, Twist, Calm: Why May’s Enrichment Toy Is a Total Game-Changer

At Praline’s Backyard Dog Services, we believe enrichment should be easy for humans and exciting for dogs. And that’s why we’re so excited to introduce May’s Enrichment Toy of the Month: the Twirl Lick Mat by Lunoji.

I’ve personally been using the Twirl with Praline, and I’m not exaggerating when I say—it’s a keeper.

Let me tell you why.

Lick Mats = Mental Wellness

Licking is more than just cute. It’s a self-soothing behavior that releases feel-good chemicals in your dog’s brain. It’s calming. It’s satisfying. And it’s a powerful way to help your dog settle, whether you’re dealing with thunderstorms, guests, or just the post-zoomies need to chill.

What Makes Twirl Different?

Most lick mats are hard to clean. Not Twirl. This one is:

  • Double-Sided: Spread yogurt, peanut butter, or a favorite puree on one side, pop the other on top, and twist. Boom—both sides are now covered in tasty enrichment.

  • Easy to Prep: I can prep two lick mats in one movement.

  • Easy to Clean: Just add soap, twist it together, and rinse. Done.

  • Stackable: Perfect for the freezer or to-go enrichment on adventures.

We’ll be rolling Twirl out to all our clients this week, and I know you (and your dog) are going to love it.

Enrichment isn’t just a buzzword. It’s how we help dogs thrive—mentally, emotionally, and physically.

So next time you’re trying to help your dog wind down, decompress, or just enjoy a moment of joy… let them lick their way to calm.

And yes, this toy is worth the wait—shipping delays aside, it’s become a staple in my own enrichment toolkit.
