The Importance of Exercise in Your Pet’s Life
It is important that you exercise your pet regularly to provide it a healthy body. As part of your pet’s healthy lifestyle ensure a balanced diet, proper grooming and regular visits to the veterinarian. The perfect time to start grooming your pet is from pup or kitten stage.
Exercise has some major benefits for your pet. Here are some of them-
The benefits include-
For dogs, it eliminates or reduces behavi
our problems such as excessive barking, digging, chewing and hyperactivity
It helps keep them agile and nimble
Decreases constipation and various other digestive problems
Builds trust and confidence in frightened dogs
Makes dogs feel sleepy, especially when you’re taking time out to relax
And most importantly, keeps your pet’s weight in check
*Routine exercise for your pet can also prove fruitful for you, by providing you with a lot of mental and physical health benefits.
What are the drawbacks of your pet not getting enough exercise?
Just like with children, if you don’t give them something productive to do with their energy, they will find something to do on their own. Similarly, if your dog is not provided with enough exercise, they start showing behaviour problems, such as-
Chewing, digging or scratching obsessively
Excessive barking and whining for attention
Raiding the garbage
Hyperactivity at night, instead of sleeping peacefully
Rough play and biting hard
Jumping on people and knocking over furniture
Risk of developing health issues such as arthritis, heart diseases and obesity
What type of exercises can you do with your pet?
