It doesn’t matter if the home space is small, do you understand? With these tips, pet fun will be guaranteed for a lifetime.
Having pets in the house is always a joy, however limited space can make some of the pet’s daily activities difficult, especially when it comes to having fun. After all, smaller seats usually don’t allow for rides or very large toys, huh? And this can become even more difficult when the home has specific children and dynamics.
But the good news is there is a solution for that, see? If you haven’t bought or adopted your pet, it’s worth thinking about smaller breeds, such as the Shih-tzu or Yorkshire, for example, as these dogs are small and ideal for apartments. However, if your friend is yet to arrive and has a larger size, bet on a few strategies!
We listened to animal care specialist Patricia Sprada and listed 6 tips for innovating in activities and entertaining animals even in small spaces. Take a look below:
small toys
There may not be room for toys, however, there is always a toy, right? So bet on smaller items for cats and dogs, like polka dots. But remember to check that the toy isn’t small enough to swallow, see? And you can even make one – just roll up your socks!
Memory game
How about stimulating the animal’s thinking and memory while playing with it? Hide toys mixed with other objects (nothing dangerous, ok ?!) and let me find them.
Snack hunt
To train the perception of the animal as well, it is worthwhile to hide food or snacks around the house. Through the nose, it will look for food.
Innovative recycling
Did you know that recyclable toys are great alternatives for pets and the environment too? Parents of kittens can bet on cardboard boxes to have the felines hide or even take a nap. For dogs, plastic bottles are great for hiding food and encouraging them to pick it up.
Tug of war
As in the classic game, the idea is that the brace and animal pull the rope, each on one side. However, this activity requires a little more attention, see? Don’t pull hard and always be careful not to hurt him, especially his mouth and teeth.
basic commands
What if the time for fun was also the time for learning? Use these minutes to teach your dog simple commands, such as making him sit up when asked. For this, you can count on some instructor tutorials on the internet.
Did you like the tips? Besides them, don’t forget to give your friend love, affection and attention! <3
