Benefits of Exercise and Play for Dogs
Good news is that keeping your dog healthy, happy and out of trouble with daily exercise is a lot of fun and provides many benefits, including:
- Helps to reduce or eliminate the common behavior problems, such as digging, excessive barking, chewing and hyperactivity
- Helps to keep dogs healthy, agile and limber
- Helps to reduce digestive problems and constipation
- Helps timid or fearful dogs build confidence and trust and socialize
- Helps dogs feel sleepy, rather than restless, at bedtime or when you’re relaxing
- Helps to keep dogs’ weight under control
Why should you exercise your cat?
Activity is good for cats. Activities help maintain a healthy body weight and keep the muscles toned and strong, and keep the mind alert and active as well. Exercise is also fun and can offer us opportunities to bond. There are many ways to get your cat more involved in play, and they don’t take much time, or effort on your part. Depending on your cat’s age, weight, temperament, and interests, you may be able to set up an area where your cat can romp around and climb. Cat trees and scratching posts are ideal for this kind of activity. You should try to spend about 10-15 minutes a few times each day engaging your cat in some form of activity. Small motorized remote controlled and battery powered furry mice are great for getting a cat’s attention.
