1. Signs Your Pet is Bored
🚫 Excessive barking or meowing.

✔ Regular Playtime: Fetch, tug-of-war, or chase games.
✔ New Experiences: Walks in different locations or socializing with other pets.
3. Training as Mental Stimulation
✔ Teaching new tricks or commands keeps their mind active.
✔ Hide-and-seek with treats is a great way to challenge them.
