EXCELLENT ENRICHMENT TOOL FOR MENTAL STIMULATION

PickPocket Foragers are fully washable/tumble dryable fleece feeders in which dogs hunt for treats inside pockets. They are simple to use, easy to launder and bring all the benefits of foraging into your dog’s home.

PickPocket Caterpillar foragers are suitable for dogs of all ages and most breeds including those with flat faces. They are ideal mental stimulation for dogs on post-operative care, those on restricted exercise or for 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 ‘golden oldies’ 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 from nosework activities, and PickPocket Foragers can be successfully used to distract from unwanted behaviour.

PickPocket Foragers are fully washable/tumble dryable fleece feeders in which dogs hunt for treats inside pockets. They are simple to use, easy to launder and bring all the benefits of foraging into your dog’s home.

Our PickPocket foraging bag is a fantastic addition to our range. Simply fill the pockets inside the bag with treats and let the foraging begin! If you want to add complexity to the foraging environment, add a Caterpillar, some pouches or bean bags. The foraging bag offers a rich foraging game by engaging the seeking circuit and exercising your dog’s natural instinct to sniff. The foraging bag can be taken ‘on the go’ as it has a handy carrying cord which, when the bag is fully open, is completely enclosed within the foraging bag and therefore poses no danger to your dog. It can also be used as a bag to tidy away foragers not being used, keeping it out of your dog’s way until next time.

HAPPY FORAGING!

Warning!

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.
