You could add some hanging toys or a special board or surface to scratch, or a new tunnel or cushion.

With lots of tasty layers! For a dog you could use ingredients such as whole-wheat flour, baking soda, eggs, and applesauce or baby food, to make an amazing canine cake. Blend in shredded veggies such as carrots for a boost of nutrients and top it with cream cheese, peanut butter or blended bananas.
