Make your own dog toys
What simple materials can I use to make toys for my dog at home?
We'll show you how to upcycle old fabric into a pull knot for playing or sniffing.
FOUR PAWS booth
As a a part of FOUR PAWS, we are particularly pleased to have our colleagues from the Hamburg office with us. With lots of hands-on activities, you will be able to learn lots of exciting things about active campaigns, such as the Animal Welfare Act or the illegal puppy trade.

How do dogs and bears have in common, how do I best behave with my dog in the park and other interesting aspects about our furry friends are the topics of todays special guided tour.

Insider tip!
Since spring 24, the BEAR SANCTUARY Müritz has been serving dog ice cream from Jackle and Heidi - without additives and therefore the perfect way to cool down on warm summer days.
Dog etiquette
We would like to kindly point out that some dogs can react insecurely or aggressively towards bears. They will bark, growl and pull on the leash. To keep the situation as stress-free as possible for both bear and dog, we ask you to continue on, and keep moving until the dog calmed down.
