Why Exercise with Your Dog Matters
Exercising with your dog in the countryside offers a range of benefits for both human and dog well-being. According to research we recently commissioned , dog owners clock in an impressive 86% more hours of weekly exercise and cover 76% greater distances compared to those without dogs. With numbers like these, there’s no better incentive to head outdoors with your four-legged friend!
Building a Pack Mentality Through Exercise
To celebrate the benefits of dog exercising with their owner in the wild, we’ve teamed up with Mark “Billy” Billingham, Chief Instructor on SAS: Who Dares Wins, and his Bulldog Alfie. Billy understands better than anyone the importance of a dog not only helping you stay fit for life but also building a sense of companionship. Regular exercise with your dog fosters a crucial feeling of belonging to a pack for both you and your furry companion.
Mental and Physical Health Benefits
Together we’re on a mission to promote the incredible mental and physical health benefits of countryside walks for both humans and their furry companions. Regular walks can:
- Help support heart health for both dogs and owners
- Help reduce stress and anxiety levels
- Strengthen the bond between you and your dog through positive experiences
Nutrition: The Key to Successful Exercise
Your physical efforts will go in vain without proper nutrition though — and this goes for your dog as well! So, make sure your dog fuels up on Carnilove. Alfie relishes Carnilove True Fresh Beef, a dry kibble made solely with fresh meat and not meat meals.
So why not take a leaf out of their book and make countryside walks a regular part of your routine?
