Food

(for a general list of indigenous food suppliers, i would look at This Site.)

Smoked salmon - suggested here

Candied Salmon - i recommend buying indigenous made when possible, and this is a really good example of one you can get! Here is one that comes in a jerky sort of shape (they have other products you may enjoy, i would definitely check it out before ordering), but i've also seen it sold on the fish skin cut into cubes you can tear off. You can also make it yourself!

Silicone mats - suggested here - i would recommend pumpkin and (cooked) ground beef for these, but you can also use baby foods, rice and veg, etc. you're in charge of how accurate, or delicious, or both the end result ends up being. if you want to feel like a wolf being cared for in a zoo, you could attach this to the side of the shower while washing as well

Jerky & Pemmican - specifically venison, moose/elk, and rabbit, since that's some of the more natural / easily found ones in our diet. If you want variety though, bison is also delicious. I would lightly recommend This Shop for pemmican if you want, or you can likely find a recipe / method to make jerky or pemmican yourself.

Miswak Sticks - this isn't food, so don't actually swallow it, but it is chewable! These are sticks you can chew to clean your teeth, that even come in different flavors on occasion! i wouldn't completely replace brushing with them, but if it's a struggle, or you just want a natural chew toy, this is a really good option. you can keep them by your bed, in your car, kind of wherever you want.

Sushi & Miso - this might be obvious due to the fish and seaweed based diet, but miso soup and sushi are decent options for body-safe foods you can have! i would recommend salmon, roe, and crab nigiri if you can

Moose, Venison, Rabbit, and Fish - annnd of course, anything with these meats is probably going to be pretty good. a lot of these aren't super common in everyone's diet, so if one is, try out another. if they all are, well! what can you do, you're already eating what you would be expected to

Exercise

Hiking - if hiking isn't your jam on it's own, make it a scavenger hunt. coastal wolves are, after all, pretty darn good scavengers. make a list of things you *might* be able to locate, and then go sniff them out! or search for a list of things to photograph in nature, and try to get those

Swimming - you're a coastal sea wolf, and this is a pretty damn good way to show that. Doggy paddle around the pool, or even better the ocean, shake off the water after you're out. Heck, play fetch with a friend in the water even (ask to play frisbee or catch if that's easier)

Jacobs Ladder (exercise equipment) - this is one you climb while on all fours. you know how you can climb the stairs like that, and you might want to do that at the gym? well this is the equipment for you! This one is a bit difficult, because not every gym will have one, and they're expensive to purchase outright (or to get a gym subscription sometimes), but you can mimic this one by going up (and down) the stairs on all fours as well

Running / Treadmill - practice your gaits, specifically. do you know the gaits of a wolf? try them out, and then when you're used to them, try swapping which leg is going first! it can be surprisingly difficult, but it's important to keep the body even and capable of doing things from both directions. Lope, trot, gallop, walk, and see if you can match pace in a way that feels natural and easy. I recommend trying to land flat pawed, or even slightly on your toes, but that can be dependent on shoe style; don't feel bad if you can't manage it, or it's uncomfortable

Quadrobics - yes, we all know it, we all get it. if you don't, go search it up on youtube or tiktok, they're better at explaining this than i am. But be safe, and maybe look up some parkour tips, just for safety's sake... and i wouldn't necessarily recommend jumps except on padded ground?

Hunting & Fishing - if this bothers you, don't do it, but. hunting and fishing, and learning how to butcher and clean carcasses is a really good skill, and knowing where your food is from is never bad. If you do this, try to use as much as possible, whether that means eating it all or using parts for gardening and pet treats, i don't care. but please be prepared to use all of what you can, however you can. look up some methods for 'weird' parts in advance, even! fish skins can be cooked, or turned into leather, or given to animals, for example. some bones can be ground up, and most scraps can be used for broth making. brain tan a hide, compost it... everything can be useful

Stretching - there's some yoga poses that we think feel very canine, (such as downward dog, obviously), but any sort of focused, long slow stretches would be good i think!

Climbing, jumping, navigation - suggested here - these i would recommend in the same vein as parkour, where you're learning to use your body as best as you can, and allowing your brain to adjust how it views obstacles and the ways to get around them

Creative

Building a den - pillow forts and bed dens and nests are all things you might know, but have you tried putting them together without your thumbs, or even your paws? dragging stuff around the room, digging at it with your forepaws, trying to make it all comfortable while you roll around in it, are all things that you can do now, if you want a bit more enrichment

Hunting by scent - there's a few options here, but my main recommendation is to find smells in nature and track them down! Leaf litter, yarrow, mushrooms, plants, scat, whatever you can smell, try to identify it and find it's source! Use that nose, you know? for more urban wolves, I might recommend doing the same downtown! sniff out your next meal, test a few different locations scents, try to identify them before ever even entering the shop and reading the menu. Or even go to a candle shop, try to sniff out specific ingredients in the candles! Learn the smells, identify them, and find more using just your nose! It's more tiring than you might think

Hunting by sound - you know those bird listening apps? what if you trained your ears to work that well? look up some local birds (or squirrels, or whatever other animal) and their calls, listen, and then go for a walk and try to pick them out of the throng. you might not find every one you listened to, but it can be fun, and if you have one of the bird listening apps, you can double check your work, and find other birds that sound similar! If you live in a city, you can always listen to common car problems and try to identify those, or things similar to that. Adapt to your needs!

Set up your own hunt - suggested here

Learning to forage - this can be difficult to get started with alone, and i wouldn't recommend it safety wise due to certain foragables being mimicked by poisonous counterparts, but this can be a really good way of learning and interacting with nature while having a Purpose for it. foraging for food, for medicinal plants, pressing flowers or leaves, or even just for a nice plant to keep in your den and gaze at joyfully

Games

i can make literally 0 guarantees about any of these except wolf quest and planet zoo being good, but i tried to give at least a few options.

Wolf Quest - they're making an update... or maybe dlc, for a coastline map!

Starshifter - while the game itself is about desert animals, it's also about shapeshifting, and finding your place in the world.

Planet Zoo ( 2) - this isn't immersive necessarily, but reading about wolves and creating environments you'd like to live in can be enjoyable for some

Wolf Survival - this game isn't out yet, so i can't say if it's any good or not! but, it does seem to be trying to follow roughly in the lines of wolfquest, but with maybe a bit less strict realism in the way packs work. could be worth checking out

Lone Wolf - this game appears to also be coming out soon, and is very stylized! From the sound of it, it's a wolf who was born alone trying to discover themself and where they fit in in the world. Seems like potentially a fun storyline

Little Wolf - a Very low-cost game, has some mixed reviews. it seems fairly cozy, but doesn't seem to have a save feature, and the camera and controls are reportedly bad. seems to be more child friendly in general though, story-line wise
