    Wildlife Enrichment

    Patients at the clinic require little contact with people but benefit from mental stimulation while in our care.

    Examples of enrichment might include stuffed Kongs or Hol-ee Roller Balls, frozen treats, paper bags or small boxes with shredded paper inside, and toilet paper roll enrichment items.

    Join Dr. Sander and Dr. Wong as they share some ways the WMC provides enrichment for patients!
