Boost your dog’s wellbeing: 13 tips every pet parent needs
Understanding pet health needs is crucial. This includes regular vet visits, a balanced diet, exercise, stimulation, and preventative care.
Canine exercise

Making sure your dog gets enough exercise is key to helping him maintain a healthy weight. Be sure your dog gets plenty of healthy canine exercise.
Like people, most dogs need 30 to 60 minutes of exercise per day. That can include any mixture of dog walks, swimming, hiking or agility.
But take care not to push your dog too hard when he’s young.
Forcing any puppy under the age of six months to exercise for an extended period of time can cause injuries. Forced exercise — any repetitive motion for an extended period of time — causes stress on developing joints and bones. That can include jogging, biking, rollerblading, skateboarding or even sled/cart pulling.
