Enrichment for a Happier, Healthier Pet

Our add-on activities are designed to provide mental stimulation, physical exercise, and pure joy for your pet during their boarding or daycare stay. Every dog is unique, and we offer a variety of enrichment options to match different energy levels, interests, and play styles.

High-energy dogs love our Fetch & Zoomies sessions, Trail Runs & Hikes, and Lure Coursing, which provide excellent outlets for natural chase instincts and boundless energy. Dogs who prefer calmer activities might enjoy outdoor walks at their own pace or special treat time with stuffed Kongs and licki mats. Trail adventures offer exploration and exercise in beautiful Maine forests!

Enrichment activities aren't just funβ€”they're beneficial for your dog's overall wellbeing. Mental stimulation helps reduce anxiety and boredom, while physical activities support healthy weight and cardiovascular health. Many pet parents notice their dogs are more relaxed and content after participating in enrichment activities. Learn more about us and our commitment to exceptional care.
