I get asked constantly for non-food enrichment ideas, in my opinion Non-food enrichment is probably the biggest, cheapest and most accessible type of providing enrichment.
Food enrichment is actually a pretty small category, but it’s a category that is commercialised, and because money can be made you see this category the most, think: stuffable toys, licking mats, and even treats.
It’s extremely difficult to capitalise things like sniffy walks, so they are less promoted.
As some quick non-food enrichment ideas:
- Sniffy walks/games
- Visiting the beach
- Swimming
- Playing Tug
- Car rides
- Shredding
- Digging
- People watching (from a safe distance)
Tell me your go to non-food enrichment
