How do I keep my dog in the best shape?

Keep your dog in the best shape possible by exercising them mentally and physically every day, keeping them on a beneficial diet, taking them to the vet yearly or when needed, and keeping them groomed always. 

Keep Your Dog Fit With These 3 Fun Activities 

There are many ways to keep your dog fit. Of course, to really keep your dog healthy it’s important to take them to the vet annually and when concerns arise, as well as feed them a proper diet. They also need plenty of exercise on a regular basis all year long. Below, we’ve chosen a few activities that are truly fun for both you and your pup!

Going on Walks and Hikes

One of the best and easiest ways to keep your dog fit and healthy is by taking them on daily walks or hikes. Dogs love seeing the outdoors and going on these journeys. If you’re bored with a walk, try turning it into a jog or run. If you’re not one for running, go on a bike ride with your dog beside you instead! Find the best version for you, or change it up each walk or hike! 

Swimming

Taking your dog for a swim is another very fun activity that helps keep them in shape. Now, not every dog enjoys jumping into a pool or lake for a swim. However, you might find that your dog enjoys playing in the water to a small degree. Try playing fetch in your backyard while the sprinklers are on, or use a garden hose to help make your dog’s playtime a little bit more fun! 

Playing With Toys

What dog doesn’t love toys? Engage in active playtime to really get your pup to move around. Fetch is a great game to play, always. Playing frisbee or tug of war is also a very active game that is highly enjoyable. Keep your dog entertained by switching up your play session with different games or toys each day… but always return to their favorite!
