Another tip which will surely energize them to move and play is by giving them a playmate. Pets like dogs and cats love to play with other pets as well, and they’ll get some exercise playing together. This is a fun way to help your pet get some exercise, and it’s something they can do even if you’re not home to help them stay in shape! This is helpful especially if you have a playful, energetic, and sociable pet.
On the other hand, if your pet is more of a couch potato, pairing them with an energetic one mostly young pets like kittens and puppies might make them play! Not only you get them to exercise but they'll have a companion when you're not around the house. But make sure you get them used to each other first especially if your pet is not that sociable. You can get them used to each other's smells first by giving each of the pets some towels they use and switch them. Then slowly let them see each other but make sure you keep a close watch or put a barrier between them first. It can be a baby gate, a glass door, etc. Just something to keep them separate for a while. Observe your fur baby and slowly introduce them to a new pet just to make sure your pet gets a playmate instead of someone to fight with.
