Get Outdoors with Your Dog
When you have a dog you need to incorporate activities outside into your life to provide your pet with the exercise and stimulation that he needs. Letting your dog sniff around your back garden just isn’t enough! Here are just some of the major benefits to outdoor activity with your pet dog:
Exercise – It’s all over the news these days that our pets are starting to suffer from obesity like their owners and that for many the problem is not only being overfed but also lack of daily exercise. It is hard to exercise a dog indoors so you need to invest in a collar and lead and get out walking with your dog.
Weight Control – As already mentioned the statistics for obesity related illnesses are increasing in pets. To control weight it’s essential to exercise your dog outdoors. Many dogs start to overeat and gain weight when they are bored and under-stimulated.
Boredom – Your dog will get bored without outdoor activity and this can rapidly lead to behavioural issues such as continual barking and chewing of your furniture. Outdoors is immensely interesting and stimulating to a dog with all the sights, sounds and of course smells! Outdoor activity will keep your dog active and alert.
Healthy Skin and Coat – By going outside your dog experiences unfiltered sunlight and the shifting temperatures of the seasons which will help his coat to shed naturally. His coat will be shinier and fuller and the sun will help him to produce all important vitamins for his health.
