Summer is a great time for us to bond with our furry family members, especially on those hot days when the AC indoors is extra refreshing for them and for us.

​

Savoring Summertime with Your Small Pet

Hay Day -- Offer a new type of hay in small handfuls in a bowl or basket, stacking cups or a crinkled up lunch sack. Sprinkle in a little of their favorite herbal blend or foraging mix for an easy-to-plan foraging adventure 🌿!

​

​

Tug of War -- Tie a fresh chew like a willow ball or loofah to a seagrass mat or timothy mat for a 'small pet sports challenge'.

​

For a ✨bonding time bonus✨, hold a chew toy in one of your hands and make them pull it loose. Pet them in their favorite spot as a reward then pick up the toy and repeat.

​

​

☀️ Hot Tip ☀️ -- Mats with a loose weave are also great for tucking timothy cubes, apple sticks or willow stick into.

​

For something extra special, treat them to a seasonal Fruity Fun Hay Mat handmade with 2 seagrass mats, 4 balsa cubes and a fruit-flavored loofah ring. Available in 3 loofah flavors - banana, blueberry, and strawberry - while supplies last.

​

​

Social Hour -- Have you ever listened to music with your small pet? How about sat next to them and ate a piece lettuce or cilantro while they did too?

​

Sometimes a simple shared activity is all you need to brighten their day (and add a little small pet magic into yours 💖).

​
