Improved Cardiovascular Health:

Daily walks help your forever friend’s heart and lungs. It gets their heart beating faster and increases their metabolism. Dogs weren’t meant to be couch potatoes, so they will be much healthier if they get a good cardio workout once or twice a day.

Lowers Their Blood Pressure:

Regular exercise for dogs, just like people, will help lower their blood pressure. 

Keeps them Slim and Trim:

Packing on excess pounds is not good for your dog. Being overweight can increase your dog’s chances of developing weight related illnesses and disorders.

Builds Muscle:

While a daily walk won’t turn your doggo into a muscle bound canine, it will help build and tone muscles, which in turn will give them a stronger musculoskeletal system.

Improves Joint Health:

An active dog is less likely to have joint problems. Exercise increases the blood flow to the joints and helps to keep them more flexible as well. It can also reduce the pain if your dog has developed arthritis.

A Mentally and Emotionally Healthy Dog:

The benefits of walking aren't limited to your dog’s physical health. Walking your dog daily will improve their mental and emotional health too. Walks help to

Strengthen the Bond between You and Your Dog

On your daily walks, you will be spending quality time with your doggo. They love that bit of time and their love for you will grow. This is a great way to bond with your dog, especially with a puppo that you just brought home or an older dog that you have adopted.

Burn Their Excess Energy and Stress

This is especially important for younger dogs. You might be amazed at the energy level of your puppy as you watch them bounce all over the house. Giving them a chance to use some calories outside on a walk is a great way to burn that excess energy. This is true of younger adult dogs as well. While they might be fully grown, they still have some of that puppy energy left in them that needs an outlet.

Prevent Boredom

A bored dog can frequently be a naughty dog. Giving them new sights and smells, meeting new dogs and people, smelling all the wonderful outside smells as you walk will stimulate their brains. That stimulation can help reduce destructive behaviour, which means fewer overturned garbage bins, chewed shoes and gnawed chair legs.

Socialise with Other Dogs and People:

When you are out walking, you will naturally run into other people and other dogs. This will give you an opportunity to help your dog learn how to behave around others. You can teach them not to jump up on people you meet, help them get over their nervousness of new dogs, etc. And it will give you a chance to show others how well behaved your furry pal really is.
