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 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. HAPPY FORAGING!
