Enrichment Activities
This enrichment activity is perfect for stimulating your dog’s natural foraging instincts and providing mental stimulation. It encourages problem-solving and is an excellent way to slow down meal times, making it both fun and rewarding!
How to Do It: Take your dog's toy basket, which already contains their favorite toys, and sprinkle some of their kibble throughout the basket. Mix the kibble into the toys so that your dog has to search through them to find each piece of food. You can also increase the challenge by burying the kibble deeper within the toys or using a variety of toys with different textures and sizes.
Why It Works: Dogs love using their noses to search for food, and this activity taps into their natural scavenging and hunting instincts. It provides both physical and mental stimulation as they dig through the toys to uncover hidden treats. This is an engaging way to encourage slower eating and give your dog a fun challenge!
