Prevent boredom in your pets during working hours

Written by Iris |

The summer holidays are over, and that means we’re all returning to the office en masse. As we prepare to get back into the daily grind, our pets might not feel the same way. They've had us around them for weeks, and now they have to get used to long days alone at home again. But not to worry, we have some fun and useful tips to make sure your pet won’t be bored for a moment!

Everything for your pet

1. Toys and puzzles

Pets love toys! From chew toys for dogs to scratching posts for cats, the right toy can provide hours of entertainment. Try a puzzle, such as the Nina Ottosson Dog Twister, where your pet has to put in some effort to get a tasty snack. It keeps their brain active and provides a fun challenge.

2. Interactive toys

Interactive toys are a fun solution to keep pets occupied. Think of fillable toys where your pet has to make an effort to get a tasty snack or a board game for dogs. These toys encourage movement and give your pet the mental challenge they need, even when you are not at home.

3. Comfortable resting spot

Make sure your pet has a nice, comfortable place to rest. A soft cushion, a warm blanket, or a comfortable bed can make a big difference. For cats, a hammock is a good option, as they often like high places where they can survey their surroundings. Dogs often prefer a cosy, safe space. That way, they will be well-rested when you get back home from work.

4. Treats

Treat your pet to a tasty snack once in a while. This could be a biscuit or a nice bone. You can also fill a licking mat with your pet’s favourite treat to keep them occupied and fully engaged. Just make sure these treats are healthy and fit within your pet’s diet.

5. Perfect home environment

Make sure your pet has enough space to move around. If possible, leave a room open where they can roam and play freely. A window with a view can also be very entertaining, especially for cats that like to look outside. Some pets enjoy having background noise when they are alone. A radio or television turned on softly can provide a sense of companionship and be soothing. With the Petcube Cam, you can keep an eye on your pet from work. With this pet camera, activated by sound and movement, every activity is recorded. You can savour those adorable moments or catch them at just the right time, ensuring your pet never feels lonely!

Returning to work after a wonderful summer holiday doesn’t have to mean that your pet gets bored. With a little creativity and some fun toys and gadgets, you can make sure your pet never has to feel lonely for a moment. That way, you can go to work with peace of mind!
