Meet Our September Dog of the Month: Feeny P.

Feeny P., a spirited German Shepherd mix, has been a treasured part of the Luckydog family since 2021. She’s known for her affectionate nature, always ready to shower her best friends—Duchess H., Penny F., and Arlo N.—with kisses and cuddles. Whether splashing in mud puddles or playing in the hose, Feeny’s zest for life is infectious. When it’s time to relax, she enjoys our luxury lodging with nightly cuddle time and regular soothing baths in the Lucky Spa. Feeny’s adventurous and loving spirit makes her a joy to have around, and we’re delighted to honor her this month!

Enrichment Ideas for Mental Stimulation at Home

Mental stimulation is a key part of keeping your dog happy and healthy, especially if they need some extra engagement at home. Here are a few fun activities to try:

Frozen Treats in Feeding Toys: Fill a feeding toy with peanut butter, yogurt, or a treat of your choice. Freeze it and let your dog work at getting the food out. The freezing adds an extra layer of challenge and keeps them engaged for longer.

Towel Puzzle: Roll up some treats inside a towel and let your dog figure out how to unroll it to get the goodies. For an extra challenge, tie the towel into a knot, or dampen the towel and freeze it ahead of time.

Muffin Tin Game: Place treats in a muffin tin, cover some of the holes with tennis balls, and let your dog find the treats by removing the balls. Alternatively, place the treats on a flat surface and cover them with lightweight cups, encouraging them to tip over the cups to get to the treat inside.

Toy Rotation: Hide a few of your dog’s favorite toys and rotate them every few days. This keeps the toys "fresh" and engaging, like a new toy every time they come out!

These activities are simple to set up and offer rewarding ways to keep your dog’s mind stimulated, no matter their age or experience!
