National Walk Your Dog Week

October 1st-7th is National Walk Your Dog Week!
Walking your dog not only benefits you, but it is also a vital part of your four-legged friend’s day! This daily exercise for your pet not only prevents obesity and weight gain, but also keeps them from exhibiting unwanted behaviors due to boredom. Exercise also gives them a reason to sleep soundly at night and to have social time. It deepens the human-animal bond, and just plain makes our friends feel good all over. Just going for a walk to check out the smells and sights makes your dog’s day. For our feline friends, outside walks may not be available, so interactive cat toys will keep your cat’s mind and body sharp.
