5 Fun Indoor Activities to Keep Your Pet Happy During the Indian Monsoon

Monsoons in India are a relief from the heat, but if you’re a pet parent, you already know they come with their own set of challenges. Muddy streets, waterlogged roads, and unpredictable showers means less walks and outdoor playtimes for your furry friends. And a bored pet? Lets not get to that - all of it leading to chewed-up shoes, scratched furniture, or endless zoomies at home.

But here’s the good news: there are plenty of fun ways to keep your pets active, entertained, and mentally stimulated indoors. Let’s explore these five activities we can try this monsoon.

1. Puzzle Toys & Treat Dispensers

Mental stimulation is just as important as physical exercise. Puzzle feeders, snuffle mats, or treat-dispensing balls can keep your dog or cat engaged for hours. Hide their favourite treats inside and watch them work their paws and brains to “solve the puzzle.”

At Pet Warehouse, you’ll find a variety of interactive toys that make mealtime fun and challenging.

2.  Indoor Fetch (With a Twist)

Who says fetch has to be outdoors? A hallway or living room space works just fine. Use a soft toy or a lightweight ball that won’t damage furniture. To add variety, teach your dog to “find” a hidden toy instead of just chasing it. This keeps them mentally alert and sharp.

 Pro tip: Use squeaky toys or tug ropes that are safe for indoor play.

3. Training Sessions & Trick Time

Monsoons are the perfect excuse to polish up those commands you’ve been putting off. Teach your pup a new trick like “roll over” or “spin.” For cats, clicker training works wonders too. Training not only improves behaviour but also strengthens your bond with your pet.

Reward them with healthy training treats, available in plenty of flavours at Pet Warehouse.

4.  DIY Obstacle Course

Got some cushions, chairs, or stools lying around? That’s all you need for a makeshift indoor agility course. Create tunnels with chairs, hurdles with pillows, and zigzag paths with bottles. It’s a great way to burn off that extra energy — especially if your dog is used to long walks outdoors.

Chew-proof toys and ropes can add extra excitement to the course.

5.  Calming & Cuddling Time

Not every activity has to be high-energy. Rainy days can also be a chance to slow down. Play calming music, groom your pet, or simply curl up with them. This downtime is soothing for pets, especially when the sound of thunder makes them anxious.

To Conclude

The Indian monsoon doesn’t have to dampen your pet’s spirits. With a little creativity, you can turn rainy days into bonding moments filled with play, training, and cuddles. And who knows? You might end up enjoying this season indoors just as much as they do.
