Too cold for a walk today? ❄️
Dr. Backus reminds us that enrichment is essential—especially when we’re stuck indoors. “Our pets didn’t choose their lives, we chose for them. That means it’s our responsibility to care for both their physical health and their mental happiness. Taking a little extra time to try a new trick, game, or toy can be simple, inexpensive, and incredibly meaningful, making a lasting difference in their quality of life.”
Here are a few easy indoor enrichment ideas to keep your pet happy and busy:
✅ Hide treats for a fun scavenger hunt
✅ Teach a new trick
✅ Try puzzle toys for mental stimulation
