  1. Benefits of Daily Dog Walking

Benefits of Daily Dog Walking

Benefits of Daily Dog Walking
If dogs could talk, they would tell us they love going for walks. Most dogs can hardly contain their excitement when they see their owners pull out the leash or ask if they want to go outside. That's because walks provide numerous benefits to a dog's physical and mental wellbeing. Unfortunately, not all dog owners have the time or ability to walk their dogs as often as they'd like. If you're not able to walk your dog daily, then professional dog walking services can help your dog enjoy the following benefits:

  • Keeping Your Dog at a Healthy Weight. All dogs need daily exercise, whether they are currently at a healthy weight or need to lose a few pounds. Daily exercise is essential for making sure your dog is burning more calories than he consumes in a day so that he can avoid putting on unnecessary weight. Even if your dog likes to play around the house, this might not be providing enough physical activity to help him avoid gaining weight. A professional dog walker can walk your dog every day, ensuring that he gets the physical activity he needs to keep his body in great shape. Even a quick 20-minute daily walk can help your dog become more active!


  • Maintaining Your Dog's Joint Health. Weight isn't the only factor to consider when it comes to your dog's health. Along with helping your dog stay in shape, daily walks can also help your dog maintain better joint health. If your dog doesn't get enough movement throughout the day, she runs the risk of becoming immobile due to a sedentary lifestyle. Your dog's joints need to work regularly in order to stay healthy and make sure she can keep moving around easily and comfortably for as long as possible. When you hire a professional dog walker, you can feel confident knowing that your dog is moving around and staying active.


  • Regulating Your Dog's Bathroom Schedule. Routines are important for dogs. Sticking to a schedule for activities such as eating, sleeping, and even going to the bathroom can help your dog feel more comfortable and be better behaved throughout the day. If you're not able to walk your dog during the day, then your dog might be used to going long periods without using the bathroom. Unfortunately, this can be bad for your dog's bladder. By hiring a professional dog walker, you can make sure your dog has plenty of outside time so he is able to go to the bathroom regularly instead of having to hold it in all day.


  • Providing Your Dog with Mental Stimulation. Exercise and outside time aren't just helpful for your dog's physical wellbeing—they are also helpful for her mental wellbeing! It is easy for dogs to feel lonely when they're alone at home during the day. A visit from a dog walker will provide socialization while also giving your dog a chance to explore the exciting world outside of your home. During the walk, your dog will be able to see—and smell—new things. Dogs love the mental stimulation they get from sniffing new scents, so this is a great way to make sure your dog is staying mentally active.
If you want your dog to be able to take advantage of these benefits but don't have the time for daily walks, Boogie N Pals can help!
