What is Enrichment?

Canine Enrichment at Ruff Resort

Canine enrichment refers to activities and experiences that engage a dog’s natural instincts and stimulate their mental and physical well-being. Enrichment is a vital component of animal care and can help a pet settle in and thrive during their stay. It offers a way for animals to engage their senses and offer natural behaviors in a safe, healthy way. It goes beyond basic care, aiming to keep dogs happy, healthy, and mentally sharp.
