Beat the November Boredom: Fun Indoor Activities to Keep Your Dog Happy and Healthy

Beat the November Boredom: Fun Indoor Activities to Keep Your Dog Happy and Healthy

November often brings shorter days, wetter walks, and more time spent indoors - and that can leave even the happiest of dogs feeling a little restless. But staying in doesn’t have to mean slowing down. With a bit of imagination (and a few Frozzys treats), you can keep your dog’s mind active, tummy happy, and tail wagging all month long.

Here are some of our favourite indoor dog activities and enrichment ideas to beat the November boredom the Frozzys way.

1. Turn Treat Time Into an Adventure

Feeding time is the perfect opportunity to engage your dog’s brain. Interactive feeding - or enrichment feeding - encourages dogs to think, lick, sniff, and problem-solve while enjoying a reward.

Try this: Spread some Frozzys Happy Gut Yogurt Squeeze over a lick mat or freeze it in a toy for a cooling, longer-lasting challenge. The Yogurt Squeeze is a lactose-free, gut-friendly yogurt enriched with prebiotics to support digestion, nutrient absorption, and overall wellbeing.

For a crunchy option, try breaking up Frozzys Superbites and hiding the pieces inside puzzle feeders or snuffle mats. These grain-free, probiotic-packed treats support healthy digestion and skin while keeping your dog entertained and focused.

2. Build a Cosy Comfort Zone

Cold, rainy days are made for snuggles. Set up a comfy corner filled with blankets, cushions, and your dog’s favourite toys - a safe space where they can relax after playtime or a soggy walk.

Pair it with a gentle treat like Frozzys Happy Gut Softbakes. Soft, chewy, and made with 100% natural ingredients, Softbakes are easy to eat, low in calories, and boosted with Baobab for antioxidant and prebiotic benefits. Choose from 3 different flavours - each designed to keep your dog’s gut happy and their tail wagging.

3. Create an Indoor Adventure Course

When the park is too muddy or the rain just won’t stop, bring the fun indoors.
Use chairs, cushions, or boxes to build a mini obstacle course. Encourage your dog to jump, weave, crawl, and explore. Not only does this burn energy, it strengthens your bond and boosts confidence.

End each round with a small reward, like half a Frozzys Superbite - the paw-shaped treats are easy to break in two, making them perfect for training sessions. They’re low in calories and packed with Omega 3 & 6 to support a shiny coat and healthy skin.

4. Keep Their Gut (and Mood) in Top Shape

Less exercise and colder weather can slow digestion and affect your dog’s overall wellbeing. Supporting their gut health helps maintain a strong immune system and balanced mood throughout the winter months.

That’s where Frozzys comes in. Our Happy Gut range is designed to nourish your dog from the inside out, promoting a healthy digestive system and natural defences.

For an extra treat, try a pot of Frozzys Frozen Yogurt - a cooling, soothing, lactose-free dessert made with essential vitamins, minerals, and soluble fibre. It’s gentle on the tummy, deliciously creamy, and available in four dog-approved flavours: Original, Strawberry, Blueberry, and Banana & Honey.

5. Keep Their Minds Engaged

Mental stimulation is just as important as physical exercise, especially in colder months.
Try teaching new tricks, practising obedience cues, or introducing simple scent games around the house. Dogs love having a job to do - and ending a session with a tasty Frozzys treat makes it even more rewarding.

Training sessions that include healthy rewards like Superbites or Softbakes can help strengthen focus while keeping calorie intake in check.

Don’t Let the November Blues Win

Rainy days and darker evenings might change your routine, but they don’t have to dampen your dog’s spirits. With a mix of cosy downtime, enrichment play, and nutritious Frozzys treats, you can turn every dull day into a new opportunity for fun, learning, and connection.

Explore the full Frozzys range in-store and online, and discover how delicious, natural, and gut-friendly treats can help your dog stay happy and healthy all year round.
