How to entertain your dogs (and yourself) in quarantine

For dog owners, pets have been sanity-savers in quarantine. Dogs have been sources of love and comfort.

We've compiled a list of activities that you can do with and for them this summer:

Set up an obstacle course

Active dogs will love a homemade obstacle course. Set one up using pillows, furniture, boxes with both sides open and laundry hampers to create tunnels and jumps. Put their favorite treats around the course so they are encouraged to explore. If you have a backyard or garden, you can do this outdoors. If not, you can do this in a big space inside your house where the dogs can't break anything.

Paint with your doggo

If your dog is more on the chill side, organize a relaxing painting session with them. Get your dog involved by using their pawprint to create shapes, like flowers. Simply dip their paw in paint then press it down your canvas of choice. Add some stems to make it look like a bouquet. Hang it up or stick it to a wall to add a personal touch to your home. Just make sure to use non-toxic paint and wash it off immediately.

Create a scrapbook for them

Any furparent will surely have dozens of photos of their doggos on their phone. All you’ll need are a scrapbook, a portable printer and accessories like stickers, washi tape, ribbons and more. You could have a theme, such as a timeline of their growth or their favorite food.

Make pupsicles

Even dogs can feel the summer heat so cool them down with pupsicles! Make sure that the ones you give them are dog-friendly. Some easy variants include Greek yogurt and berries, watermelon and pineapple and peanut butter, banana, honey, yogurt and blueberries. Simply add the ingredients to an ice tray and freeze.

Have a pool party

If your dogs like water, get a tub, fill it up with water, add their favorite toys and let them enjoy splashing around.

To make sure your dogs are ready for any kind of activity, give them the right and proper diet. Maxime is a premium dog food brand that contains all the essentials, such as pre and probiotics, DHA and Omega 3 and 6, so doggos are happy, active, tough and smart.
