Exercising every day can improve your dog’s overall health

Taking your dog for a walk every day is the best way to prevent obesity and improve its mental health. If your dog reaches a higher weight than normal, then the risk of illness will increase significantly. For instance, obesity in dogs can lead to arthritis, diabetes and different heart diseases. 

“At a minimum, dogs should get 30 to 45 minutes of exercise every single day. If you have an older dog with decreased stamina, an overweight dog trying to lose weight, or a large breed puppy still in its growing stage, it is best to break down the period of exercise into smaller intervals several times per day,” says Devereaux.
