Walking your dog is not only important for their physical health, but it's also vital for their mental well-being as well. In this video, veterinarian Dr Melissa Meehan, explains why daily exercise is so important for all dogs.

Walking, and other exercises, help to improve our dog's muscle strength, keep joints flexible, bones healthy, burns off calories and also lowers the risk of dementia. Exercise also releases endorphins, which can help to reduce stress and anxiety in both us and our dogs.

Dr Mel explains the many benefits of daily dog exercise, as well as the amount of exercise required, which is dependent on the size, age and breed of dog. So, what are you waiting for? Get out and exercise your dog every day and you will both enjoy the benefits!
