Snuffle Boxes: The Up-cycling Genius
Remember the delivery box from Amazon that you were about to throw out? Hold on a minute! Emma, over on YouTube, demonstrated a brilliant way to repurpose these boxes into a snuffle box. Simply fill the box with shredded paper or newspaper and sprinkle some of your pet’s favourite raw treats inside. Seal it up and let your fur baby have at it!
But What If My Cat Isn’t Impressed?
Ah, cats, the ever-so-picky members of our family. Just like our resident feline, who looked at the snuffle box and basically said, “You’ve got to be kitten me.” Not all pets are game for working for their dinner. Our 10-year-old cat, for instance, seemed to say, "I don’t want to play your games. I’ll just head around to the neighbours if you don’t feed me. I've earned the right to be lazy!"
Don't be disheartened if your cat isn't as enthusiastic as your dog about enrichment activities. Cats, especially older ones, have their own ways of finding enrichment. But it’s good to try!
Herb Patches: The Herbal Haven
Why not take your pet’s taste buds on an aromatic journey? Create a herb patch in your garden with pet-friendly herbs like chamomile, mint, or parsley. This gives your pet a chance to explore, sniff, and even taste. It's a unique experience, especially for dogs who are keen on munching some greens from time to time.
DIY Floating Toy: Dive In!
Summertime and water play go hand-in-hand. Take an old ball and clip in some dried meat or treats from our range of raw foods at Nurturing by Nature. Toss it in the water, and watch your pet dive in after it. Swimming and fetching? That’s double the fun!
Why Enrichment and Raw Pet Food Go Hand in Hand
You see, these enrichment activities aren't just fun and games; they offer important mental and sensory stimulation for your pet. When coupled with a diet of varied raw pet foods, the textures and flavours add another layer to their sensory experience, ensuring that they're not just eating but truly engaging with their food.
The raw pet food lifestyle is all about harnessing the innate power of natural nutrients and ingredients, and when that’s combined with enrichment, it creates a wholesome lifestyle that keeps your pet engaged and healthy.
