Pets naturally know how to listen to their hunger and satiety signals. However, domestic training has turned the hunt into a quick meal from a bowl. Many dogs and cats finish a full meal in less than two minutes, and sometimes swallow without chewing.
Every dog owner wants to see their pet happy and healthy. It is just as important for them to be calm, balanced, and well-behaved, even when left home alone. Dogs are social, sensitive, and loving creatures. Without a suitable framework, they can become restless: chewed furniture, incessant whining, house-soiling, and a general feeling of chaos every time you leave through the door.
FeedMe provides rewarding employment that occupies the dog (for a long time, 55 minutes on average), before and after leaving the house. Rewarding occupation is an occupation that meets the dog’s emotional, physical, and mental needs.
Dogs love to chew. They use their mouths to explore the world – similar to babies in the oral stage, they put objects in their mouths to feel them, thereby fulfilling a natural need for curiosity and learning. The problem is that the items in our homes are precious to our hearts and wallets, and the resulting damage creates frustration and anger.
To understand what our dog does and feels when we are not home, it is recommended to film him when he is left alone. Filming allows us to get a reliable and clear picture of his behavior and identify potential problems—even if we are not sure they exist. Filming can answer important questions: Does the dog experience separation anxiety? Is he bored? Does he know how to relax? And occupy himself?
