Sunday – Happy Dogs Don't Always Need Long Walks ❤️

When temperatures are high, skipping a long walk isn't being lazy—it's often the safest choice.

A combination of:
🐾 Sniffing games
🧠 Puzzle toys
🎓 Short training sessions
🧊 Frozen treats
💦 Water play
..can leave your dog just as content while avoiding the risks of overheating.

Remember, a tired dog isn't just a well-walked dog—it's one whose mind has been exercised too.

Saturday – Weekend Enrichment Challenge! 📦

Before you recycle that cardboard box...

Turn it into a treasure hunt!

Hide treats inside with scrunched-up paper or cardboard tubes and let your dog sniff, search and investigate.

It's simple, inexpensive, and dogs absolutely love it.

(Just supervise if your dog enjoys eating the cardboard as well as shredding it! 😉)

Thursday – Find It! 🐶

One of the easiest enrichment games costs absolutely nothing.

Hide a few treats around one room and ask your dog to "Find it!"

Start easy, then gradually make the hiding places trickier as they become expert detectives.

It's amazing how tired they are after just 10 minutes!

Wednesday – Frozen Fun! 🧊🍉

Need to keep your dog cool and entertained?

Try freezing:
🧊 Chicken broth ice cubes (no onions or garlic!)
🍉 Seedless watermelon
🫐 Blueberries
🥕 Carrot sticks
🦴 A stuffed Kong filled with wet food or plain dog-safe yoghurt

Cooling treats keep dogs occupied while helping them stay comfortable on warm days.

Just remember—treats should always be given in moderation!

Tuesday – Sniff, Search, Repeat! 👃

Your dog's nose is their superpower!

Instead of feeding from a bowl today, try:
🐾 A snuffle mat
🐾 Scatter feeding in the garden
🐾 Hiding treats around the house
🐾 Rolling treats inside an old towel

Using their nose is fantastic mental exercise and helps satisfy your dog's natural instincts.

What's your dog's favourite sniffing game?

When it's too hot for long walks, your dog still needs something to do!

Did you know that 15–20 minutes of mental enrichment can be just as tiring as a much longer walk? Sniffing, problem-solving and learning all use lots of energy.

This week we'll be sharing some of our favourite ways to keep dogs happy at home during the warmer weather.

UK government are consulting on this at the moment. Please add your opinion as we need to see more focus on pet and wildlife safety!

A new proposal could bring relief to frightened pets.

The UK government has launched a 12-week consultation on possible restrictions for the loudest fireworks sold to the public. Under the proposal, some higher-noise products could be limited to professional displays while celebrations would still be allowed to continue.

Animal welfare groups say sudden bangs and flashes can cause significant distress for pets. Research cited by the Royal Kennel Club found that 80% of dog owners notice major behavior changes during fireworks, while reports of missing dogs double during fireworks season.
