April is Canine Fitness Month. While focusing on our pets’ health and wellness is important every day of the year, this monthlong observation helps bring awareness to the preventable dangers of canine obesity and sedentarism.

Exercising our pets not only helps them ward off joint and muscle pain later in life, but it also reduces their risk for diseases like cancer, diabetes, and so much more.

Long walks in the park and fun games of fetch or tug-of-war are great ways to get you and your dog moving. Pet resorts such as Paws and Play offer doggie daycare which is amazing for mental and physical fitness.

Here are just three ways your pet resort prioritizes exercise, helping your pup remain healthy, happy, and in motion.

1. A Steady Routine: Exercise tends to work best when it becomes second nature. Regular dog daycare visits offer your pup a workout “regimen,” so to speak while giving them a safe, secure outlet to run and explore and maintain a healthy mind and body in the process. And because they spend less time at home waiting by the door for you to return from work or running errands, there are far fewer opportunities to develop a sedentary lifestyle.
2. Workout buddies: As many gym goers might attest, exercise is often more fun when you can work out with a friend. Luckily, luxury pet resorts typically custom-tailor play groups with your pup’s age, activity level, and unique personality in mind. Rest assured that trained caregivers will conduct a thorough assessment of your dog before play time, ensuring that your pet is properly matched with friendly playmates to engage and exercise with.
3. Awesome play yards: What’s the adage? You’ll never work a day in your life if you do what you love. Well, our dogs LOVE to play with a capital L and chances are they never even realize they’re getting a hearty workout while they’re playing the day away.. The best pet resorts will be equipped with indoor and outdoor play areas where your dog can cut loose. Paws and Play Pet Resort, for example, provides K9Grass® to keep your pup’s paws comfortable and clean while at play, rugged equipment and toys that are designed with a dog’s paws, teeth, and ENERGY in mind, and plenty of fenced-in security that ensures all guests are safe and sound while they’re having a blast.
