Calming Starter Kit

Three simple ways to help create a calmer, more enriching environment for your dog

The Calming Starter Kit brings together a comfort bed and two enrichment tools that work well as a simple daily routine — not a single fix, but three small habits that add up.

The situation

If your dog gets restless, paces, chews on the wrong things, or seems bored and unsettled during the day, it's often a mix of too little mental stimulation and no consistent “settle down” routine. This kit gives you a starting point for both.

What's included

• Calming Donut Pet Bed — a soft, raised-rim bed that gives your dog a defined, cosy spot to rest.
• Silicone Lick Mat — a textured mat for spreading a treat or wet food, encouraging slow, repetitive licking.
• Snuffle Mat — a nosework mat that hides small treats among fabric strips, engaging your dog's sense of smell.

Why each product is useful

Calming Donut Pet Bed: the raised, cushioned rim gives your dog a sense of enclosure and a consistent place to rest, supporting a predictable routine around downtime.

Silicone Lick Mat: licking is a naturally repetitive, low-energy behaviour for dogs. Spreading a small amount of food across the mat's texture can turn a meal or treat into a slower, more engaging activity.

Snuffle Mat: sniffing is one of the primary ways dogs explore the world. Hiding treats in the mat's fabric strips turns a few minutes of feeding into mental enrichment and nosework.

How to use the three together

A simple routine some owners find helpful: offer the snuffle mat or lick mat during moments of higher energy — after a walk, or before you leave the house — then let your dog settle onto the bed afterward. Over time, many dogs start to associate this sequence, engage then settle, with a calmer state at home.

Who it's suitable for

This kit is designed for adult dogs of most sizes. If you're shopping for a small dog or a puppy, check the individual size and material details on each product's own page before purchasing, as the Donut Bed is offered in specific sizes.

How to introduce these products to your dog

Every dog is different. Introduce one product at a time in a calm, familiar setting and let your dog explore at their own pace. Reward curiosity and gentle engagement. Never force your dog to interact with a new item — most dogs take to lick mats and snuffle mats naturally, but some may take a few short sessions to settle in.
