Dog walking – the health benefits
Almost 40 per cent of Australian households own a dog.
There are 3.1 million pet dogs in Australia. Simply walking
their dog a few times a week could offer owners
numerous health and social benefits. Benefits include
improved cardiovascular fitness, lower blood pressure,
stronger muscles and bones (built up by walking
regularly), and decreased stress.
A study undertaken in New South Wales found that 41
per cent of dog owners walk, on average, 18 minutes per
week longer than people without dogs. However, the
majority of dog owners (59 per cent) don’t walk their dogs
at all, and do less physical activity than people without
dogs.
Walking is also important for the dog’s health. Obesity in
pets is associated with a number of medical complaints
including osteoarthritis, cardiovascular disease, liver
disease and insulin resistance.

Like you,
it is important for not just dental health, but overall health, that you
take care of your pet’s teeth. Poor dental hygiene can lead to gum
disease, loss of teeth and, if untreated, could develop into more
serious conditions such as bacterial infections of the heart,
lungs, liver or kidneys.
