Take your dog swimming at a safe beach when the waves are calm. Dogs usually love to swim!

Or treat your kitty cat to some tasty bits of tuna, or chicken.

Take note:

By playing games with your pets you are increasing their happy hormones in their brains', as well as establishing a bond between the both of you. It also provides exercise for your beloved pet as well as helping to relieve anxiety or stress.
