🐾✨PET ENRICHMENT✨🐾

Did you know that mental stimulation can be considered more demanding for a dog than physical exercise??

With 5 minutes of mental stimulation equaling 10 minutes of physical exercise your pet can get more out of less time.

There are some fun fancy pet enrichment toys you can spend money on, but there are also some DIY home enrichment things you can do. From putting dog food wrapped in a towel to freezing kibble in a muffin tin with boys or other toys on top the ideas are endless.

** please supervise your pet at all times to make sure they don't eat or chew up things they shouldn't***

🐱🌟 Did you know brown cats are super rare? 🌟🐱

Meet Boo Boo!!!

While most cats come in shades of black, white, orange, or gray, true brown cats are a rare and fascinating sight! 🐾

Brown cats typically have a rich, deep coat color that can range from a warm, chocolatey hue to a softer cinnamon or even a more muted "sepia" tone. These cats are often a mix of genes and sometimes appear in specific breeds like the Havana Brown or Burmese.

Not only are they beautiful, but their unique coloring is often the result of genetic combinations that are hard to come by. So if you ever spot a brown kitty, consider yourself lucky! 🍀💛
