The great thing about giving your pet gifts is that no matter how simple the gift might be it's always accepted with joy. Witnessing their delight is always heart warming. Our Pets bring so much to our lives - from their unconditional love to the pleasure that comes from watching their sometimes comical antics. They're a constant source of stress relief and an everyday reminder that it's the simple things in life that make us all happy.
Because we love our pets their psychological well being is important to us. We want them to be comfortable and happy. Much of their happiness comes from our attention and company and when we're not around, some pets become bored or anxious. Arriving home to holes in the garden, shredded cushions or other chewed items is often a sign of this. Providing something to keep your pet occupied while you're not around can distract them from their loneliness and in some cases prevent these destructive habits.
Like people, pets need mental stimulation and physical activity. Simple and inexpensive pet toys can improve the quality of your pet's day to day life by providing both of these things. If your birds need a change of scenery give their aviary a makeover with a new perch, feeder and drinking fountain and perhaps a few new toys to keep the occupants busy. They may not be able to say thank you for your gift but if you look closely you just might see a flutter of appreciation.
If your cat is home alone while you're at work, having a variety of play things at their disposal can ease anxiety and keep their mind occupied. It's equally important to have something for them to scratch. Scratching is normal behaviour for cats and they'll do it whether they're inside or outside. While simple toys help a dog physically, interactive dog toys can help a dog mentally. Both simple and complex dog toys will keep your dog healthy and fit both mentally and physically.
Owners of small animals know that little furry pets are just as entertaining and needs just as much love and care as larger pets. They may have different eating habits and take up much less room, but like other pets, when you're not there to play with them they need something interesting to do. Be it an exercise wheel, maze or a tunnel, they'll appreciate any little gift that improve their lifestyle.
Most importantly, the best gift you can give any pet is free, it's your love.
