5 Fun Indoor Games to Keep Your Pet Active and Happy!

Hey, fellow pet parents!

Rainy days or busy schedules don’t mean your furry friends have to miss out on the fun. I’ve been there—Max bouncing off the walls and Lola looking bored. Here are my top 5 indoor games that keep them entertained and, honestly, tire them out (so I can get some work done)! 🐶🐱



1. Hide and Seek 🕵️

This one’s a hit in my house!

  • I hide in another room and call out, “Max, come find me!”
  • He loves the challenge and the big hug he gets when he finds me.

🐾 Bonus: You can also hide their favorite toy or treat to keep things exciting!


2. Tug-of-War 🦴

All you need is a sturdy toy or even an old towel. Lola’s favorite part? The playful growling and wagging tail competition.

  • Remember to let them win sometimes—it’s all about the fun!

3. DIY Obstacle Course 🏃‍♂️🐾

  • Use cushions, chairs, and blankets to create a mini course.
  • Max leaps over cushions while Lola crawls under chairs—it’s hilarious to watch and great exercise for them.

4. Laser Pointer Chase 🔦

This one’s a must for my cats, Felix and Luna. They go crazy chasing the red dot, and it’s a fantastic way to burn off energy.
🐾 Tip: Be careful not to shine the laser in their eyes.


5. Treat Puzzle Toys 🧩

I fill a puzzle toy with their favorite snacks and watch them work their brains to get the treats out. Max is quick, but Lola takes her sweet time, savoring every bite.
🐕 DIY Idea: Use a muffin tin, place treats in each cup, and cover them with tennis balls. Let your pets figure it out!
