6 Benefits of Enrichment Toys for Dogs:

Enrichment toys are like brain puzzles for your pup! These clever toys challenge their minds and keep boredom at bay. Get ready for some mind-blowing problem-solving skills!

2. Promotes Physical Exercise for Dogs:

Working from home doesn’t mean your pooch has to become a couch potato. Enrichment toys get those paws moving and those tails wagging! By providing opportunities for exercise, these toys help keep dogs active, fit, and healthy.

3. Reduces Anxiety and Stress Relief for Dogs:

Working from home can sometimes bring stress into the picture. But fear not! Enrichment toys are stress busters extraordinaire. They create positive associations and turn solitude into serene moments of delight.

4. Generates a Bond with Dogs:

Break time! Enrichment toys are perfect for bonding sessions with your furry co-worker. Take a pause, grab a plush toy, and let the fun begin! Tug-of-war battles, interactive play, and snuggle sessions are all on the menu. Trust us, these moments will make your work breaks way more heartwarming.

5. Keeps Dogs Occupied and Entertained:

Forget the endless interruptions during your workday. Enrichment toys are the ultimate distraction masters! They keep your dog busy and out of your hair. No more disruptive barking or attention-seeking antics. Let the toys work their magic while you conquer your to-do list like a pro!

6. Encourages Independence in Dogs:

Working from home often means that owners cannot dedicate all their time and attention to their dogs. Enrichment toys encourage independence and self-entertainment. Your pup learns to enjoy their own company, keeping themselves occupied and happy without relying solely on you. It’s a win-win for both of you!

4 Types of Enrichment Dog Toys:

1. Puzzle Toys

From treat-filled puzzles to interactive wonders, these toys provide mental workouts that keep your furry Einstein sharp and engaged. We recommend puzzle toys mixed with Zoë Tender Bites this can challenge your dog’s problem-solving skills and provide a rewarding experience.

2. Treat-Dispensing Toys

Treat-dispensing toys are a blast for your furry athlete. Watch them roll, chase, and play while hunting down hidden treasures. It’s exercise disguised as pure fun! A creative way to use a topple is to use Zoë Tender Chunks to plug the hole, then add your favourite treats. We recommend Zoë Better Than Rawhide Twists and Zoë Super Bars.

3. Lick Mats

Lick mats are like therapy sessions for dogs, allowing your pup to release stress and anxiety, they provide a soothing and repetitive activity that can help relax dogs. By spreading Zoë wet food and adding a Zoë Super Bar on the mat, dogs are forced to lick and work for their food, which slows down their eating pace. Woof, goodbye to stress!

4. Plush Toys

Plush toys are great for providing a sense of security and comfort for dogs and they’re great for sensory stimulation. We recommend adding Zoë Tender Chunks to plush enrichment toys since the treats are bigger sized, so they can easily be hidden in the plush toy without it being too easy for the dog to find them.

Remember to choose enrichment toys that are appropriate for your dog’s size, age, and chewing habits. Always supervise your dog when playing with interactive toys and ensure that the toys are in tip-top shape to keep the fun safe and worry-free.

So, dear work-from-home heroes and their furry sidekicks, enrichment dog toys are your secret weapon while working from home. They keep your dog’s mind sharp, their paws active, and their stress levels low. And let’s not forget the unforgettable bonding moments they bring! So, let the fluffy fun begin, and get ready for a harmonious work-from-home experience like no other. Happy work and playtime, pals!
