Walking your dog: benefits and essentials

19 September 2023

Going for a walk not only provides exercise for body resilience but also deepens the bond between you and your dogs. You may not realize it, but maintaining this wholesome habit will only bring positive results and entertaining moments for you and the "boss".

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF WALKING?

One thing is sure: regular workouts or bodily activities will keep us in good health and bring about evident improvements in our physical as well as mental well-being. The same is true for dogs, as spending 15 minutes or more a day walking or exercising together will help boost their health, particularly bones and joints. A body in shape helps uplift the mind and build stronger resistance against common diseases.

WHAT TO PREPARE BEFORE WALKING YOUR BOSSES?

Careful preparation before leaving the house will make the walk more enjoyable and comfortable. You should have the following items that may come in handy:

- Safety control kit (collar - leash - muzzle): A must-have set of accessories for every dog during the outing. This will make it easy for us to keep our pet dogs in check and ensure safety for other people around.

- Cleaning kit with poop bags and a container for when your pets need to clean up.

- A water bottle for your dogs, because even a good walk can still cause dehydration, so the body needs regular water intake. Therefore, a portable water bottle is an absolute must.

You can easily find and purchase these essentials at pet stores. Choose the most suitable items for a happy walk every day.
