PREVENTING BOREDOM IN YOUR<br />
DOG<br />
by Scarsdale Vets<br />
Interactive feeding can<br />
help meal times last longer<br />
and prevent boredom in<br />
dogs that are on strict<br />
rest/weight loss regimes/<br />
eat meals quickly, helping<br />
provide enrichment.<br />
Messy eating: Feeding kibble in the garden or on the<br />
kitchen floor.<br />
Treat balls/Kongs: Serve your dog’s meal in a treat<br />
ball/Kong.<br />
Puzzle Bowls: Bowls with grooves or odd shapes cut<br />
into them.<br />
Get creative: Hide food in cardboard boxes/egg<br />
boxes or put kibble in a baking tray and cover with<br />
balls/toys.<br />
Remember that food used should come out of your<br />
dog’s daily allowance to help prevent weight gain.<br />
Sandpit/earthpit: If your dog likes digging holes<br />
in the garden, try building him/her their very own<br />
sandpit. Fill it with dirt or sand and bury some of their<br />
toys to encourage them to dig in this area and not<br />
your flowerbed!<br />
Exercise: Exercise is really important and should<br />
be altered to suit your pet’s age and any health<br />
conditions they may have.<br />
Things to try:<br />
Dogs with lots of energy will benefit from plenty of off<br />
lead exercise if safe to do so.<br />
Play with their favourite toys on walks.<br />
Training: Practicing commands (sit, paw, lay down,<br />
leave etc) will help keep their brain busy.<br />
Attend obedience/ agility classes.<br />
