Enrichment

At Country Lane Pet Hotel, we believe great care goes beyond food, walks, and a place to sleep.

Enrichment is how we support your dog’s mental, emotional, and behavioral well-being during their stay with us.

Just like people, dogs thrive when their minds are engaged. Our enrichment options are designed to reduce stress, prevent boredom, and make your dog’s time with us more enjoyable and fulfilling.

Why enrichment matters

Dogs need more than physical exercise — they also need mental stimulation to feel balanced and relaxed.

Enrichment helps:

Reduce stress and anxiety
Prevent boredom-related behaviors
Encourage calm, positive energy
Improve overall happiness during boarding or daycare
Support dogs staying for multiple days or longer

Whether your dog is high-energy, anxious, or just loves extra attention, enrichment adds meaningful value to their stay.

OUR ENRICHMENT OPTION: LIK MAT

What is a Lik Mat?

A lick mat is a textured silicone mat spread with a small amount of tasty, dog-safe ingredients that encourage natural licking behavior.
Licking is soothing for dogs and promotes relaxation, focus, and calm.

Why we love it

Lick mats are especially great for:

Anxious or nervous dogs
High-energy dogs needing a calming activity
Post-play wind-down time
Dogs that enjoy food-based enrichment

It’s a simple but powerful way to improve your dog’s comfort while staying with us.

What we use

Our lick mats are prepared using:

🎃 Pumpkin
🥣 Yogurt
🥜 Peanut Butter

We use 1 tablespoon of each, with no chicken-based ingredients.

When it's offered

Lick Mat Enrichment is offered once daily as a special add-on during your dog’s stay.
