As Easter approaches, many of us are planning festivities and fun activities. But what about our furry friends? Dogs love to be a part of the celebration too! This blog will give you some ideas on how to set up a fun-filled Easter egg hunt for your pup to keep them involved and entertained this Easter!
Choose Safe and Dog-Friendly Treats:
Before you begin planning your Easter egg hunt, it’s essential to choose treats that are safe and suitable for your dog. Pick dog-friendly snacks that are free from harmful ingredients such as chocolate, raisins, or xylitol. Make sure to choose some of your dog’s favourite treats too!
Prepare the Easter Eggs:
Next, gather some plastic Easter eggs that are large enough to hold your chosen dog treats. These eggs will serve as the hidden treasures for your pup to find during the hunt. To make the activity more engaging, consider using eggs of different colours and sizes to add an extra element of excitement.
Hide the Eggs:
Get creative with your hiding spots, placing them in various locations around your home. Make sure to hide them at your dog’s eye level to make it easier for them to sniff out their hidden treasures. You could hide them in your garden, under blankets or even in plain sight!
Engage Your Dog’s Senses:
To make the Easter egg hunt more stimulating for your dog, incorporate elements that engage their senses. You could hide some eggs inside toys or puzzle feeders to encourage mental stimulation as they search for their treats.
Supervise and Have Fun:
As your dog starts on their Easter egg hunt adventure, be sure to supervise them closely to ensure their safety. Offer encouragement and praise as they discover each egg, making it a positive and rewarding experience for them. Remember to capture some photos and videos of your dog enjoying the hunt! Remember to use your Pawfit tracker to track your dog’s activity during the hunt!
