Enrichment can include:

🐾 Puzzle feeders
🐾 Scent games
🐾 Training sessions
and much much more!

How does your facility incorporate enrichment into daily routines?

Not all pet care is created equal 🐾

Professional pet care providers do more than supervise playtime they create safe, structured, enriching environments designed around animal behavior, health, and wellbeing.

From continuing education to safety protocols and enrichment practices, professional pet care teams work hard every day to raise the standard of care for pets and the people who love them.

That’s what IBPSA is all about 💙
