No matter how old your dog is, he will still need regular exercise to keep his body healthy. This is true, especially among senior dogs whose bodies are slowly degrading. The activity does not have to be as much and as long as when he was younger. A simple walk in the park stimulates his body and mind. Please keep your dog’s exercise routine simple and appropriate for his age and health. If you know he quickly gets tired, choose an exercise considering this factor. Here are the benefits of exercise for dogs:
Keeps your dog’s weight appropriate for his size, age, and breed.
Slows down the worsening of arthritis.
Stimulates your dog’s mentality.
Enhances coordination functions and motor skills.
Always keep in mind that the goal of the exercise is to help your pet become healthier. Therefore, it should not make him feel threatened or scared. Ensure that his routine is proper for him, and ask for your vet’s opinion before establishing one.
