Environmental Enrichment and Senior Pets
2017
Overview
Environmental enrichment typically involves the identification and subsequent addition to the zoo environment of a specific stimulus or characteristic that the occupant(s) needs but which was not previously present. Before examining enrichment for pets, it may be helpful to better understand enrichment by offering examples of enrichment at zoos. Numerous studies of zoo animals demonstrate that living in unenriched and uninteresting environments is unhealthy, potentially leading to various abnormal behaviors and can play a role in weight gain and general ill health. While there is certainly a correlation between zoo animals and companion animals, few clients live with anteaters or cheetahs. More relevant is how enrichment may be used to enhance lifespan and quality of life of the pets, particularly senior pets. Adding a second pet will help to provide a new spark, and older pet begins to play like a young one.
