When the weather keeps you and your pet indoors, a few good games go a long way. Indoor play burns off energy, keeps boredom away, and strengthens the bond between you and your dog or cat.

Games that make them think

Mental work tires a pet out just as much as a walk. Try a game of hide and seek with a favorite toy, scatter a few treats around a room for a mini treasure hunt, or reach for a puzzle toy that rewards problem solving. An Outward Hound Hide a Squirrel puzzle or a TRIXIE treat dispensing toy turns snack time into a fun challenge.

Keep it short and rewarding

Keep sessions short and upbeat, reward your pet often, and rotate a few toys in and out so they always feel fresh. Ending on a win keeps your pet excited for the next round.
