Bart's Beast (lots of them!): this way the animals that stay indoors also stay happy

Bart stays inside. But not just Bart: also the animal! Of course, it takes some getting used to being at home so much all of a sudden, but what about the pets? All the dogs and cats suddenly no longer have the kingdom to themselves every day, and that's a bit strange. And very pleasant. And crazy. Anyway, you get the point. Of course we only want the very best for our dearest wet noses, which is why we have a few fun activities you can do with your dog (or very active cat) to have a great time together:

Hide the reward

Hide the reward

This is one of our favorite games because it is a great workout for body and mind. First, hide a few treats while your dog (or cat) watches. So he understands the concept. Did he find them all? High paw! Now hide the treats without your dog seeing it. The snacks of many pet food have a wonderful smell (sometimes not, but usually they do). The animal knows how to find the treats by smell. Bet? And now an extra challenge. Be creative and, for example, put a few sweets in an empty toilet roll (we know you have a lot!) or in a flower pot.

Brain games

Brain games

Brain games are the best. They keep your dog busy and they train his brain. Fancy a few rounds of ball-ball? This game is hilarious: you need 3 cups and some sweets. While your dog sees it, put a treat under one of the cups. Then mix up the cups and let your dog guess which cup the treat is hidden under. Simple but guaranteed to make you laugh!

Obstacle course
An obstacle course is easy to make and super fun for your dog! Collect some objects for him to jump over. Such as a shoe box or 2 laundry baskets with a stick in between. Then add a few things that he can walk under or through. A chair or a hula hoop is ideal. Finished? Start! Reward your dog with a tasty snack every time he overcomes an obstacle.

These tips were made possible by Edgard & Cooper. Spending time with your pet and doing something good for the world and nature is of course extra fun. How can you do that? With food from Edgard & Cooper! Do you already know them? The first brand in the world to develop chunks with 100% fresh meat (instead of meat meal) and they also only use fresh vegetables and fruit, which is very tasty. In addition, all packaging is completely plastic-free and therefore 100% biodegradable, they prefer to make friends rather than plastic. About making friends spoken: 10% of Edgard & Cooper's profits go to charity, so that not only your pet has a nice cup of food, but also dogs and cats who are less fortunate. Everyone happy!
