All 4 Paws Dog Training

This is a great idea for not only cats but dogs too!

By incorporating ways to mimic the natural behavior of foraging, you are providing mental stimulation and increasing your cat's physical activity.

Your cat has natural instincts to search and hunt for food, so if you hide some of their meals around the house you are encouraging your cat to act upon his hunting behavior. He will have to use his senses as he searches for the hidden food or treats and once he finds it he will feel like he has found his prey.

Scattering food across the floor, hiding food in crumbled paper, or even using a snuffle mat are quick and easy ways for you to try to mimic foraging for your cat.

🚨 Hot Summers Means Hot Pavement!

Did you know that asphalt and sidewalks can heat up higher than the air temperature? Here's a quick test: hold the back of your hand on the pavement for 7 seconds. If it's too hot for you, it's too hot for your dog's paws! 🐾

Tips to Keep Your Dog's Paws Safe:

✅ Walk earlier or later in the day when it's cooler.
✅ Use Paw Protection: Dog booties can protect their pads.
✅ Walk on the grass instead of the pavement.
✅ Check your dog's paws daily for signs of irritation.
✅ Try indoor enrichment games.
✅ Opt for activities in or near water, like swimming or walking along a creek.

Keep those paws safe and happy! 🌅🌿🐶
