Pets, especially dogs and cats, need mental stimulation to stay healthy and happy. Boredom can lead to behavioral issues and a decrease in your pet’s overall well-being. Invest in puzzle toys, interactive feeders, or games that challenge their minds. Dogs may enjoy hide-and-seek or agility exercises, while cats often love hunting games with toys on strings.
Engaging your pet’s mind builds trust, as they’ll look to you as the source of these fun and challenging activities. For other animals, such as birds or rodents, a rotating selection of toys or even rearranging their habitat can provide the mental stimulation they need.
The main thing is to pay attention to your pet’s needs daily after all they are part of your family like a child would be.
