1. Enrichment Toys 

Enrichment toys are specially designed to stimulate a pet’s mind and body. There are many different types of enrichment toys available for both cats and dogs. Some of the most popular include interactive puzzles, treat dispensers, catnip-filled balls, and squeaky chew toys. Each type of toy provides different kinds of stimulation for your pet. For example, puzzles challenge their problem-solving skills, while chew toys provide physical exercise and mental stimulation. 

Most importantly, enrichment toys help keep pets active and engaged. This helps prevent boredom which can lead to destructive behavior – chewing on furniture, barking excessively, or the notorious “zoomies.”

Enrichment toys are an entertaining and excellent outlet for their energy. Plus, they’ll come in handy while you cook the holiday feast!

2. DIY Cardboard Box

Construct a DIY project with all the extra cardboard boxes you must have received this season.  Instead of tossing each box into the recycling bin, you can jazz things up and create your friend an enrichment box. It can be as simple as tossing a few toys and treats inside. Or maybe you’d like to be a bit more elaborate. You can use a few boxes and create a tunnel for your pup. For cat owners, you already know how much your cats enjoy empty boxes. Stack them up, and create a tower so they can climb! The sky’s the limit for creativity.

3. Treats, Treats, and More Treats! 

Nothing works better at getting your animal’s tail wagging than a big treat. The options are unlimited now! You can try some freeze-dried treats, jerky, giant bones, or stuff some peanut butter into a slow-eater engagement toy. Cats can be picky with their treat picks. Maybe your cat is a minimalist and just likes cat nip. Additionally, there are some great recipes online for healthy treats for your pets! While you bake some holiday cookies, slip in a tray of biscuits for your favorite friend!

4. New Bedding or Furniture

Beds and blankets spoil easily when they’re beloved by your animal. Whether your sidekick has rolled around in the yard and caked their bed in mud. Or the layer of fur is now embedded in the bed. Accidents also happen. The truth is, your pet’s bedding probably is in need of freshening. This is the perfect time to spoil your animal. Maybe also, you’ve been putting off getting that new cat scratcher for your kitty. Some cats prefer horizontal scratchers, while others who climb want vertical stands. You’ll most likely be thanked with kisses or purs.
