Dogs Keep You Moving — and Smiling
Dogs get you moving — daily walks strengthen your body, calm your mind, and boost your routine.
Owning a dog brings joy — and it’s great for your health, too. Regular dog walks can increase your activity levels, boost mood, and create a sense of daily purpose.
Benefits of dog ownership:
- Encourages daily walks and active routines
- Reduces stress and promotes relaxation
- Offers companionship and emotional support
- Increases social connection through shared dog activities
- Supports heart health and emotional wellbeing
No dog? Consider volunteering at a shelter or walking a neighbour’s pet — you’ll gain the movement and connection without full-time responsibility.
