Everyone is stuck indoors during quarantine and if you are with your pet, that’s the biggest blessing. Forget about getting bored, dogs and cats can brighten up your mood and make your days more fun. Just because you need to practice social distancing doesn’t mean you can’t have fun around the house. Here are a few things you can do with your favourite four legged one during quarantine, see:
1. Exercise
The first step in practicing exercise is to never force it. Try to incorporate yoga or exercise into your daily walks and playtime, reducing stress when you do with your pet. Do a few routines and yoga poses with your dog and cat. The end result will be a good exercise for both you and your pet.
2. Indoor Games
From playing tic-tac-toe to fetch, pets love playing games with their masters. This is a good time to pull out the laser pointer, colourful balls or tug of war rope to fill their days with fun activities. Run around and sweat it out in your garden or backyard while spending quality time with your pet.
3. Movie Night
If you are stuck at home and feel like you have nothing to do, a movie night with your dog or pet is what you need. Cuddle and watch a movie with your pet to keep them engaged towards the screen, enjoy!
Few dog and cat adoring flicks are ‘Marley and Me’, ‘Puss in Boots’ and ‘The Art of Racing in the Rain’.
4. Treats
One should keep their pet’s mind active at such crucial times. A fun way is to find treats that will get your dog or cat to move and be excited. Pick their favourite treats and hide them in a different room in easy to reach places. After your pet finds, praise him or her to make them feel extra special and spice up a boring afternoon.
