Dog Health

  • Pet Health & Longevity: Walking is vital for dogs’ health as well. On average, dogs that get regular walks live 1.5 to 2 years longer than those that don't. A well-exercised dog is generally healthier, happier, and less likely to develop behavioral issues.

  • Dog Ownership & Walking: Globally, around 471 million dogs are kept as pets, with most of their owners walking them daily. Dog walking not only benefits the dogs but also motivates people to stay active. Studies show that dog owners walk, on average, 22 minutes more per day than those without dogs.

  • Behavioral Benefits for Dogs: Dogs that don’t get regular walks are more likely to develop behavioral problems like anxiety, aggression, and excessive barking. Walking helps stimulate a dog's mind by exposing them to different environments, smells, and experiences.
