How to keep your pet healthy and happy indoors

Take a look at some of the simple things you can do with your dog at home, brought to you by CountryLiving.com

1. MAKE THEIR OWN SNUFFLE MAT

A snuffle mat is an enriching way to help stimulate dogs’ senses. These tactical creations — which are easy to make yourself — help to keep your pups entertained when at home.

If you want to make your own one, you will need:

• A rubber mat with holes in (similar to mats found in the car)
• Strips of fabric or fleece
• Scissors to cut them into place

2. HAVE A TREASURE HUNT

If you’re indoors with your dog, one of the fun things you can do is a treasure hunt. Hide some of your pup’s favourite treats in different rooms and see how quickly they manage to locate them. Once they know there is a reward up for grabs they will be motivated to keep on playing.
