April is K9 Fitness Month

In light of April being K9 Fitness Month, I wanted to share some interesting facts about K9 Fitness you may not have known. Dogs involved in a balanced K9 Fitness program:

• Can live 2+ years longer

• Have fewer injuries

• Can have an increased immune system and experience less digestive issues

• Reduce chances of joint ailments

• Have increased stamina

• Maintain a healthy weight

• Have increased strength & good muscle tone

• Have improved overall health

• Can perform the sport or work they enjoy better and safer

• Are prepared better for the stress on the joints when playing ball, Frisbee or a good game of tug

• Are better able to handle the rough and tumbles when playing with other dogs

• Have better balance and posture

• Can help with chores and cleaning the house (okay, I might have exaggerated this one)

As you see, K9 Fitness is not just for our sport and working dogs!

Whether you have a sport dog, working K9, companion dog, puppy, or senior dog! K9 Fitness is essential for all of our dogs!
