You don’t have to be a genius to know that dogs love the outdoors, but here are a few health benefits, to both you and your dog, of going on adventures. 👇
- Dog owners enjoy numerous health and social benefits by walking their dog a few times a week, including improved cardiovascular fitness, lower blood pressure, stronger muscles and bones, and decreased stress. 🚶♀️
- A regular walk is vitally important for your pet's health. Obesity in pets is associated with a number of medical complaints including osteoarthritis, cardiovascular disease, liver disease and insulin resistance.👍
- Most dogs need to be walked at least once each day, though some dogs, particularly very active dogs, may require more. The breed of dog you have, as well as its level of fitness and age, will also determine how long and how vigorous your walk should be. 🐕
- A walk can make a dog very happy. They love to check out the sights and smells and will really look forward to spending time with you. A dog that doesn't receive sufficient exercise can easily become bored or destructive. 🐶
