🐾 Keep Your Pets Busy This Summer! 🌞

By now, you’ve probably heard “I’m bored!” a million times from your kids, but have you ever thought your pet might be feeling the same way? 🐶🐱

Summer holidays mean more time at home, but that can lead to some restless pets if they don’t have enough to keep them busy. 🐾 Whether it’s your dog chewing on a Kong or your cat chasing after interactive toys, providing enrichment activities is key to a happy and healthy pet!

For your dog:

Kongs and puzzle feeders are perfect for mental stimulation!

Hide-and-seek games or obedience training can keep them engaged and help burn off energy.

Long walks or playtime in the yard are great for physical exercise too.

For your cat:

Try interactive toys like laser pointers, feather wands, or puzzle feeders to keep them engaged.

Set up a window perch for birdwatching 🦜 or create a mini cat obstacle course to encourage natural hunting behaviors.

Catnip-infused toys or treat puzzles will also keep them entertained for hours!

Remember, providing enrichment is not just about fun—it helps prevent boredom, anxiety, and destructive behaviors. Keeping your pet's mind and body active is essential to their well-being. 🧠💪

👀 Stay tuned! We’ll soon be stocking some amazing new enrichment products in-store to keep your pets entertained all summer long!
