Is your pet's mealtime missing the wow factor?

Did you know there is more to your pet's mealtime than simply feeding?

It can be a source of enrichment, enhancing their physical and mental well-being, while meeting nutritional needs.

"Food enrichment is a key aspect of pet parenting, offering opportunities to challenge our dogs and cats' natural instincts and make mealtime more exciting and beneficial," says Dr Karien Brink, veterinarian at Hill's Pet Nutrition.

When it comes to enriching pets with their food, this involves making mealtime a stimulating experience by engaging the pet's mind and instincts.

It mimics the behaviour pets would exhibit in the wild, such as foraging, hunting, or problem-solving. Enrichment can reduce boredom, alleviate stress, and even improve digestion by slowing down fast eaters. Dogs and cats benefit from interactive feeding strategies that keep them active and satisfied.
