Helping Fur-babies Feel Happy, Even When You're Away

Cookies and Smarts was born from one simple, heartfelt desire: to ease the guilt and anxiety pet parents feel when leaving their dogs at home.

It all began with Charlotte, my beautiful girl. I didn'tenjoy leaving her behind — that familiar tug in my heart, wondering if she was bored, anxious, or pacing the door waiting for me to return.

So I created a puzzle toy to keep her engaged while I was out. Watching her on the camera, I saw her tail wag as she focused, using her nose and paws to unlock each treat. She wasn’t sad — she was stimulated, entertained, and proud of herself. Fifteen minutes later, she was asleep, happy and calm.

That moment changed everything for me. I knew I had to share that peace of mind with other dog lovers.

Cookies and Smarts creates thoughtfully designed interactive toys to help dogs shift their focus from separation to stimulation. They're more than just toys — they're tools for confidence, contentment, and a calmer home (for both of you).

We believe enrichment should be beautiful, easy, and part of your everyday routine.
