A lack of exercise in your four-legged pal may result in health risks like obesity. But that’s not all.

DOG TOYS AND GAMES

DOG TOYS AND GAMES

Exercise doesn’t always need to be a hassle. Kind of like dancing, hiking or biking, the gym isn’t required when you want to get your heart-rate up. Besides, most dogs aren’t interested in lifting weights. Make your exercise time fun by playing games with him. Fetch and tug-of-war are always winners. But if you want to mix things up, try building him an obstacle course or teach him some new tricks. If you’re unable to get outside due to the weather, get him moving with a scavenger hunt. Just hide his snacks around the house and he’ll use his nose to hunt them down. Dogs can also get a dose of exercise by playing with toys. Choose from balls, tug toys, plush toys or toys stuffed with treats.
