Like many of us, our dogs and cats are adjusting to us being at home much more and they are learning new routines. Our pets are our best friends and are a great source of comfort in these uncertain times.

To keep your four-legged best friend from getting cabin fever, we’ve got five tips and games to entertain your pet.  

Walk a different way 

Exercise is so important so keep things interesting by changing the sights and smells on your walks by picking different routes each time.

Do you have paper rolls lying around? Fold one end, place a treat inside, then fold the top over and seal both ends with peanut butter.  Your dog will delight in licking and nudging the rolls to get to the treats inside.  

Rotate their toys  

Break up the boredom by making sure your cat or dog has different toys to play with and rotate them to bring some variety to their days.
