EXERCISE AND PLAY

Keeping fit, having fun

Just like us, dogs need regular exercise to stay fit and healthy. At the same time, exercise provides a wonderful opportunity for you to spend more time together, whether it's a quick walk before work, a relaxing stroll after a hard day at the office, or a weekend exploring somewhere new.

Exercising your dog also gives kids the chance to play outside and get involved in caring for the family pet, whilst older children love to take responsibility for holding the lead. Nearly all dogs enjoy playing together, but remember to introduce new friends in a neutral place and ensure they're fully vaccinated.
