Welcome October & Walk the Dog

    Can you believe that it is already October?! There are so many fun things happening this month. This first week is National Walk Your Dog Week.

   One of the important things throughout your dog’s life is to make sure they get enough exercise. Walking is a great way to help keep your pup peppy. Now that Bentley and Pierre are both senior dogs, keeping active is crucial for helping them stay strong.

Tips for a Great Dog Walk

January is officially Walk Your Dog Month. I’m not sure why they would pick the month with snow and sub-freezing temperatures. It probably is to motivate humans to keep their New Year’s resolution to get in shape! Whatever the reason, it is always a great time to walk your best friends.

Tips for a Great Walk

• Always have poop bags to clean up after your dog.

• Keep your dog on a leash unless you’re in an off-leash park.

• Bring water and a collapsible bowl.

• Small treats can be a wonderful walk to incorporate training with exercise.

• Watch your dog for signs of distress or tiredness.

• Never pull on your dog’s collar as you could cause damage to their neck.

• Protect their paws from extreme cold or heat with Pawz® or Jelly Wellies booties.
