Here are a few reasons
why your dog needs exercise:

Under exercised dogs are apt to outlet their energies
through a variety of ways, most of which are undesirable.
Their excess energy has to get expended in one way or the
other. It might come out as frustration exhibited by excessive
licking, self-mutilation, digging, destructive chewing,
hyperactivity or any number of other behavioral problems.

One in every three dogs is overweight
Extra weight leaves dogs prone to joint problems

Dogs that exercise live up to 30% longer!!

Your dog relies on you to keep him in good health. A proper
diet, regular exercise and grooming, and routine check-ups at
the veterinarian will help keep your dog in top form. It's also
important for you to get to know your dog's habits - eating,
drinking, sleeping, and so forth - since sometimes a variation in
those habits can be an indication that he isn't feeling well.

Walking is one of the core exercises to do and benefits your
dog with the least risk of injury. It also satisfies the dog's natural
need to explore his surroundings and introduces the dog to
new sights and sounds. Escaping the urban surroundings
brings the dog closer to nature and his heritage.

and care for your dog. We only hike in areas we know well and
