Pet Pointers: Obesity in Dogs

Exercise for dogs is a really important topic, as it's estimated that over 53% of dogs in the US are overweight (shocking, isn't it?). A large number of dog owners also don't provide daily walks - often because they don't realize the health problems this causes.

The folks at The Dog Clinic wanted to help dog owners provide enough exercise for their pets, as this can prevent heart disease, diabetes and obesity. With that in mind, they've put together a complete guide to dog exercise:

Unlike most articles on this topic, they've provided specific guidelines for how much exercise a dog needs based on breed, age and health (all backed by research). They've also included tips for providing mental stimulation for dogs, which is just as important as physical exercise.
