Does your furry friend have a case of the zoomies every time you mention a walk? Are you seeing more active pups and fit felines on social media? Well, get ready to join the pack! Pet wellness is booming, and pet fitness is a major trend. At Shoreline Happy Paws, we’re all about keeping your pets happy and healthy, and that includes keeping them active! So, how can you incorporate this hot trend into your pet’s routine, even when you’re away? In this blog, Furry Fitness Fanatics: The Latest Pet Wellness Trend, we will explore the world of pet fitness and how we can help you keep your furry companion in tip-top shape, even during the hectic summer months.
The Pet Fitness Trend: Benefits
From weight management and improved mood to stronger joints and a boost in their cardiovascular and immune systems, exercise does wonders for our furry companions. Yet, not all pets are created equal! It’s important to explore fun and safe exercise options for dogs, cats, and even smaller pets like rabbits and guinea pigs. From leash walks and fetch sessions to interactive puzzles and obstacle courses, there’s a fitness plan for every pet species, personality, and activity level.
The Pet Fitness Trend: Planning
Exercise shouldn’t feel like a chore for either you or your pet! Engaging walks and playtime ensure you and your pet can enjoy your new wellness routine together.
Remember to incorporate mental stimulation alongside physical activity for your pup. And, consider listening to your favorite music or podcast while walking to keep you motivated.
Most importantly, we encourage you to plan and schedule your daily walks, play sessions, etc. around the same time each day. Once you choose your daily schedule, add it to your household calendar. By doing so, you can set up reminders. And, you and your pet can fall into a predictable routine, which, believe it or not, is fun for pets. Once they get accustomed to the new routine, they’re sure to remind you too!
Don’t forget pet fitness trackers like FitBark and Fi. With fitness trackers and smartphone apps, you can monitor your pet’s activity levels, allowing you to stay informed and motivated.
