Stay happy and healthy with your dog in 2009!
Keep fit with your dog! Much cheaper than the gym and benefits both you and your canine companion.
Top 10 benefits for your dog
- Helps negative effects of aging such as arthritis and other problems associated with joints, muscles and bones
- Exercise is an easy way to control weight. A 20 minute walk a day can increase your dog's ability to burn calories.
- Increasing muscle mass through exercise can raise your dog's metabolic rate so that he continues to burn off calories all the time, even whilst resting!
- Exercise reduces the incidence of digestive problems and constipation
- Sufficient exercise helps to reduce or eliminate common behaviour problems such as digging, excessive barking, chewing etc
- Exercise helps a timid dog build confidence and trust, because he will be socialising with other dogs and must be able to hold his own
- Dogs need physical and mental stimulation every day.
- Exercise helps prevent boredom and channels energy in a productive and acceptable direction
- Exercise provides mental stimulation through territorial investigation. With his nose to the ground, your dog will gather information with all of his senses
- Exercise helps prevents depression in dogs in the same way that it helps people
