The PickPocket Caterpillar has 12 large pockets in which treats can be hidden. The Caterpillar combines well with our set of three foraging pouches, which can be tucked inside the Caterpillar pockets to make the foraging environment more challenging and exciting.
PickPocket Caterpillar foragers are suitable for dogs of all ages andย most breeds including those with flat faces. They are ideal mental stimulation for dogs on post-operative care, those on restricted exercise or forย dogs with reduced mobility due to arthritic conditions. Playing with the Caterpillar forager can provide these dogs with a few minutes gentle weight-bearing exercise. Foraging games are especially beneficial to senior dogs with cognitive dysfunction and โgolden oldiesโ whose other senses may be in decline and who come to rely more on olfaction. The Caterpillar forager is especially suited to visually impaired dogs who are able to use their natural foraging skills in a game that is highly rewarding, satisfying and safe. Puppies can also hugely benefit mentally and physically fromย noseworkย activities, and PickPocket Foragersย can be successfully used to distract from unwanted behaviour.
HAPPY FORAGING!

Some owners are concerned that their dog will chew the fleece, however most dogs find foraging so immensely rewarding that this foraging instinct usually overrides their desire to bite the fabric. Please ALWAYS supervise your dog and follow the instructions for use on the packaging to minimise risk. No dog should be left alone with any of the PickPocket Forager range as ingesting fabric could lead to serious medical issues. If you have any concerns or suspect your dog has swallowed some fabric, please consult your veterinary surgeon immediately.
