Get Fit and Bond with Your Pet: 3 Tips for Exercising with Your Pet

Getting your pet in shape doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Here are simple ways both you and your pet can get active:

1. Start Small with Dog Walks

2. Play Fetch

3. Take a Hike

Start Small With Dog Walks

Small steps can add up…literally! Take the time to walk your dog another block or two around the neighborhood or for a few extra minutes when you take them outside to the bathroom. Even a few extra minutes of walking each day will add up throughout the week to keep you and your pet outdoors and more active.

Play Fetch

Sure, your dog will get a little more exercise than you, but playing fetch is a great pastime that your dog will love. Find your local dog park or a nearby fenced-in area with a few tennis balls or a Frisbee. Your dog is sure to enjoy this exercise!

Take a Hike

Hiking is a great way to get exercise and explore a new area! Find a local dog-friendly trail, harness your pup and get moving. Just remember to pack plenty of water and protein-packed snacks (for you and your pet) to ensure everyone stays happy during your hike.
