Unique ways to keep your furry friend moving

At Coastal Pet, we know that keeping pets active is essential for their health and happiness. While daily walks and playtime are great, there are other exciting ways to get your pets moving. Let’s explore some fun and unique activities for dogs and cats that will keep them engaged and energized.

For Dogs:

Interactive Toy Play: Try engaging your dog with a new, interactive toy. Toys that dispense treats or require problem solving can help keep your pup mentally and physically stimulated. PetKORE™ has extremely playable, wildly durable toys that add enrichment to playtime.

Agility Training: Set up a mini agility course in your backyard or even in your living room. Use cones, tunnels, or items from around your home to create jumps and make a fun obstacle course. This not only provides physical activity, but also strengthens your bond with your dog.

Hide and Seek: This childhood favorite game can also work with your dog! Hide treats or their favorite toy around the house and encourage them to find it. A good game of hide-and-seek taps into their natural hunting instincts and keeps them active.

Doggy Playdates: Consider heading to a dog park or another dog-friendly location with your pup and their furry friends. Socializing with other dogs can be a great way for your pet to burn off energy and learn new social skills.

For Cats:

Pointer Chase: A classic but effective way to get your cat moving is with a pointer toy like our Turbo® LED Pointer. Cats love to chase the elusive image – it’s fun and a workout at the same time. Plus, the gentle LED light is safe for cats’ sensitive eyes.

Interactive Puzzle Feeders: Use puzzle feeders to make mealtime or treat-giving more engaging. These feeders require your cat to work for their food or treats, providing mental and physical stimulation.

Climbing Adventures: If you don’t have one already, investing in a cat tree or creating vertical spaces for your cat to climb is a great idea. Cats love to explore different heights, and climbing keeps them active.

Wand Play: Feather teasers and wands are fantastic for interactive play. Move the wand around to mimic the movements of a bird or small animal and watch your cat pounce and leap with excitement. Our Turbo® collection has many teasers and wands – shop to find the purr-fect one for your feline friend.

Keeping your pets active doesn’t have to be a chore. With a little creativity and the right products, you can turn exercise into a fun and engaging experience for both you and your furry friends. At Coastal Pet, we’re dedicated to providing high-quality products you can trust to keep your pets happy and healthy.
