Bored Canines

How do you prevent pet boredom? Easy: Keep your pet entertained. Sure, you can buy a tennis ball and play fetch, but even after several rounds this type of play would leave any pet bored. Most canines like to work for a reward. Pet Supplies "Plus" carries several toys that do just that. The Holee Roller is an excellent toy that your dog can chew (and for most breeds it won't get destroyed) and work for their reward. It's great for stuffing with pig ears, rawhide chew strips, or just about anything fun and appealing that your dog would enjoy. Constantly introduce new toys and chew treats to your dog and give them a nice variety.

This also goes for their diet. If you think about it, would you enjoy eating the same exact meal twice a day, 365 days a year? I know I sure wouldn't. So, why do you think your pet would? A rotational diet is a great way to keep your pet guessing at what his or her next meal will be. They won't get tired or bored, and a rotational diet will give your pet the opportunity to be exposed to a variety of proteins, fruits and vegetables. The most common reason that animals develop food allergies is because of lack of exposure to different foods.
