Snow Day Activities for Dogs and Cats

Snow Day Activities for Dogs and Cats

You can exercise and play with your pet even when you're stuck indoors. Daily physical activity is essential for your pet's physical and mental well-being -- and your sanity. When the snow is piled high and the temperatures dip, you can still get your dog moving for the recommended 30 minutes and your cat active for 10 to 15 minutes per day. Try these simple - and fun - physically-active games for your pets until the snowdrifts settle.  

When it's freezing outside, move the fun inside.&nbsp;

         This classic indoor game uses the same skills as “come and get it” you often play outside. Show your dog or cat a favorite toy and call her to you. Walk around your house with your pet following you. Go as fast as you like; just don’t blame your pet for any broken items.
