Almost 53% of dogs in the United States are overweight or obese, according to surveys conducted by the Association for Pet Obesity Prevention. Approximately 25% of overweight dogs develop serious joint complications. And extra weight places extra demands on virtually all organs of the body. This leads to heart disease and increased blood pressure, difficulty breathing, decreased stamina, heart intolerance, decreased liver function, increased surgical and anesthetic risk, reproductive issues, digestive problems, decreased immune function, skin/fur coat problems, increased risk of cancer, and a decreased quality and length of life. Humans are the main cause of dog obesity. Ultimately, you (the “owner”) are responsible for your dog’s wellbeing. This means regulating their caloric intake and use, seeking veterinary assistance in maintaining your dog’s optimal weight if needed. Another often-neglected factor that is every bit as essential as nutrition is adequate exercise. Dogs have tons of energy that needs to be burned off healthily on a daily basis. The amount of exercise your dog requires depends on the breed. Active breeds need a minimum of 30 mins of hard aerobic exercise daily. Adequate exercise uses both mental and physical muscles. Engaging your dog’s mind as well as its body is the key to helping your furry friend live the best life possible. A lack of exercise/neglect is a direct result of destructive behavior (we’re talking about the chewing, the digging, the barking). This sort of behavior causes too many people to give up on their dog. It’s a cruel, completely preventable cycle. But this isn’t a guilt trip. We get it, life happens. Sometimes you’re swamped with work, family, obligations, and the like. Perhaps the weather is rotten -- blistering hot or freezing cold. No living thing should endure prolonged exposure to extreme weather environments. And when faced with such obstacles, taking a walk around the neighborhood or wrestling in the park isn’t necessarily doable. So then what? If only you had a tool, a seemingly ordinary item that possessed the capability of giving your pet unlimited exercise time. And if only that item was portable and capable of going anywhere. Ahem.
