Enrichment Made Simple

Posted on 07.15.2026

Some of the best ideas come from solving a problem for your own dog. That's exactly how Woof got its start.

When founder Daniel Haarburger's dog, Milo, needed knee surgery as a puppy, months of rest left the energetic half-Husky, half-Cattle Dog with plenty of energy but very few safe ways to burn it. Daniel wanted an enrichment toy that was easy to fill, easy to clean, and could keep Milo happily occupied for more than just a few minutes. When he couldn't find one, he built it himself.

That invention became the Pupsicle, one of today's most popular enrichment toys. What started in a garage has grown into a company focused on making enrichment easier for both dogs and their people. From long-lasting treat toys to durable chews and convenient refill treats, Woof designs products that encourage healthy mental stimulation while making life simpler for pet parents.

 

The Pupsicle: A Smarter Enrichment Toy

Unlike many enrichment toys that are difficult to clean, the Woof Pupsicle twists open through the middle, making it incredibly easy to fill, wash, and reuse. Add a pre-made Pupsicle Pop or create your own frozen recipe using peanut butter, pumpkin, broth, wet food, or yogurt. Once frozen, simply screw it together and let your dog enjoy 20 to 40 minutes of rewarding enrichment.

Even better? When playtime is over, just rinse it out or toss it in the dishwasher.
