An Active Pet is a Healthy Pet
Obesity isn’t only a serious problem among the human population- it’s a common one among pets and can shorten their lives due to liver disease, diabetes, and joint problems. A regular exercise even 15 minutes a day can be the difference between a lethargic pet vs. a robust and happy pet. Exercise also builds muscle definition, strengthens the heart, reduces stress, stimulates the mind, and relieves boredom. |

| Exercise allows the opportunity for you to spend some time with your pet while getting a little exercise yourself. You will develop a closer bond with each other in the process, and your pet will appreciate it more than you know. Can you think of a better way to start off the day or taking a break from your daily routine than doing something fun with your pet? |
