Make the most of staying at home this winter season by developing your pup’s cognitive skills with fun and beneficial brain teaser games! These types of activities are a fun way to get you canine moving and having a good time. Plus, it’s also entertaining to watch as they attempt to figure out the puzzle. The classic Seek and Find game is the one we’ll be sharing with you today: 1. Hide shoeboxes or small containers throughout a large room. 2. Place a treat in each hidden box or container. 3. Call your pup into the room and encourage him to find the treats. It may take a few tries but eventually he’ll start to get the idea. This is a fun exercise that encourages dogs to use their keen sense of smell and seeking skills to find the missing treats. You can increase the difficulty by flipping the boxes over or increasing the search radius.

As the weather gets cooler and winter is now underway, it’s important to plan ahead and keep in mind that ice melt safety is critical for your pet’s health.

Symptoms of ice melt poisoning include: • Increased Urination • Vomiting • Decreased Blood Pressure • Muscle Weaknesses • Excessive Thirst or Salivation If your pet is experiencing these or similar symptoms contact your veterinarian immediately.
