What Is Enrichment

& Why It Matters

At Yesspet Pet Care, exceptional pet care is our foundation—and mindful Enrichment is the thoughtful, next-level approach that truly sets us apart.

Enrichment simply means providing pets with opportunities to engage their minds, bodies, and natural instincts in meaningful ways. It goes beyond basic care; it’s about enhancing their well-being and adding joy to their daily lives.

We follow the Five Pillars of Enrichment, tailored to every pet:

1. Social

Social enrichment is all about healthy, positive interaction, tailored to each pet’s social needs and comfort level.

2. Sensory

Sensory enrichment taps into a pet’s five senses to create a more engaging and comforting environment.

3. Occupational

Occupational enrichment gives pets a sense of purpose by engaging their minds and bodies in activities that mimic natural or learned behaviors.

4. Physical

Physical enrichment provides diverse play environments for dogs and distinct activity zones for cats, encouraging natural behaviors and keeping them engaged.

5. Nutritional

Nutritional enrichment goes beyond what's in the bowl; it's about how food is offered to encourage natural foraging and feeding behavior

Enrichment helps prevent boredom, reduces stress, builds confidence, and supports healthy behavior. Whether you're caring for a curious cat or an energetic dog, Enrichment can make all the difference.

Through our specialized training, we focus on the Five Pillars of Enrichment - for both dogs and cats, using our huge, varied, and ever changing inventory of puzzles, toys and games - to create a well-rounded experience tailored to each pet’s unique personality and needs.

How We Apply It

Enrichment is included in all check in visits of 30 minutes or more, and is a big part of our Premium Tuck In, Overnight, and Live In services.

We now offer specialized Enrichment Visits of 45-50 minutes, available in packages of 5 visits.

• Social: For dogs, this often means encouraging safe, friendly interaction with other dogs and humans to build confidence and companionship. For cats, it’s consistent, gentle human interaction that allows engagement on their terms. These moments strengthen the human-animal bond and support emotional well-being.

• Sensory: Dogs may enjoy calming music, scent-based “sniffy” walks, or new textures and tastes. Cats often respond well to botanicals like catnip or silvervine. Visual and auditory stimulation also keep pets engaged and emotionally balanced.

• Occupational: Dogs benefit from purposeful play—fetch, puzzle games, training, and even dog sports. Cats thrive on interactive toys and games that mimic hunting. Giving pets something to “do” channels energy productively and reduces boredom.

• Physical: Rotating toys, ramps, and changes in environment support dogs’ need for movement. Cats appreciate thoughtfully arranged spaces with essential resources for resting, playing, eating, and toileting. A well-planned environment supports comfort and engagement.

• Nutritional: We transform mealtime into mental enrichment using puzzle feeders, lick mats, and scatter feeding. For dogs, this may include frozen treats. For cats, it means hiding food to simulate hunting. These techniques slow eating, reduce boredom, and encourage instinctive behaviors.
