Pets need more than basic care - they require enrichment to stay stimulated, challenged, and express their natural instincts.
Enrichment not only supports animal well-being but also strengthens your bond through play. of every species,
and helps build the bond with your pets through play.
Enrichment is More than Toys
Enrichment for pets is often mistaken for simply offering a ball to chase or a chew toy to gnaw on. And while some pets may enjoy these, true enrichment goes far deeper; it’s about encouraging animals to use their natural instincts and abilities in ways that keep them mentally sharp and physically active.
Why Enrichment Matters
Foraging, burrowing, perching, and problem solving aren’t just “bonus” activities - they’re fundamental to a pet’s mental health. Animals without enrichment can quickly experience boredom, which often leads to unwanted behaviours like chewing, scratching, or aggression. With enrichment, animals build confidence and reduce anxiety. From scratching posts for cats to dust baths for chickens, enrichment lets animals express their instincts safely and satisfyingly. These activities usually double as physical exercise, keeping pets agile and reducing the risk of obesity or other related health issues. And, interactive enrichment deepens the bond between people and their pets, turning everyday play into meaningful connection.

Enrichment by Animal | What You Can Do!
All animals may need enrichment, but they all need different types. Guinea pigs don’t perch, just as chickens don’t (typically) play fetch.
Here’s a breakdown of ideas for enrichment based on your type of pet.
Chickens
Dust Baths
Chickens instinctively clean themselves by rolling in dust or sand. Dust bathing is a social activity for chickens, helps keep their feathers in good condition and assists with the elination of external parasites.

Perches
In nature, chickens love to hang out on low branches. Climbing, resting, and stretching their wings on chicken perches are excellent exercises for your flock, and satisfies their desire for higher vantage points.

Freestanding Perch
PoleTree Perch
Peck Toys
Foraging is a flock’s favourite activity. Mimicking this natural behaviour, chicken peck toys keep your chickens’ scratch grains at an elevated level that they’ll have to reach for.

Cats
Cat Trees
Cats crave elevation, and cat trees give them a place to perch, scratch, stretch, and cat nap. Vertical space gives them territory they can claim for themselves, and a higher vantage point to help them feel more secure.
Freestyle Indoor Cat Tree
Freestyle Outdoor Cat Tree
Cat Scratching Posts
Give your cats something to sink their claws into (other than your furniture). Cat scratching posts help relieve stress and stretch your feline’s muscles.
Interactive Toys
Toys that interact with your cat ignites their hunting instincts. Choose animated toys, or those with flights or sounds to awaken your feline’s inner fierceness.

Dogs
Training Sessions
Training your dog builds their confidence and their bond with you. Aim for 20 minutes a day working with your dog, especially if they’re young or an active breed.
Walks
Quality time with you is likely the ultimate form of enrichment to your dog, and walking is the epitome of excitement to most dogs. Switch up your route routinely to keep things fresh and exciting.
Puzzle Feeders
or Snuffle Mats
In between interaction with you, these mind-exercising elements can keep inquisitive dogs busy. Dogs are natural problem-solvers, and these toys stimulate their minds and noses.
Playdates
Doggy playdates offer excellent enrichment.

& Guinea Pigs
Tunnels

Get creative with your designs, just make sure to use pet-safe components and abilities in ways that keep them mentally sharp and physically active.

- Pacing or restlessness
