I have been a lifelong pet owner, particularly of several dogs and cats (and others!), who enjoys spending time with animals, especially outside! New experiences, physical activity, and even more loving are all things that contribute greatly to an animal’s mental and physical health, just like you and I. So, a high level of intentional time spent with them is my mission, whether it’s to fill in the gaps of your own busy life, establish a healthy routine for your pet’s well-being, or simply give you a break when you need it most. I have owned and taken care of several dogs, puppies, cats, and kittens, and am confident in my ability to accommodate your best friend’s needs alongside the expert knowledge of them that you undoubtedly possess. For our most lively friends, I also offer fast-paced walks, off-road trail hikes, and even runs, both on grass and paved surfaces. Such activities have proven to be exceptional for bone and joint health, heart and lung health, digestion, stamina, and weight management. Increased fitness opportunities can also lead to decreased restlessness as an energy outlet, reduced behavioral issues and destructive habits, anxiety and stress relief, and environmental stimulation for brain health. However, before beginning any of these higher-impact activities, there are many factors to assess, such as breed compatibility with intense exercise, history of health conditions, and age, among others. Plans would also be very, very gradual as to not overdo it and inevitably hurt more than help your dog.
