We all know that it’s essential for us humans to get regular exercise. Though you may not have realized it, it’s just as crucial for your dog to maintain an active lifestyle. When they are too sedentary, our pooches can become bored, frustrated, and unhealthy. Exactly how much exercise your dog needs depends on factors such as breed, age, size, and overall health. Generally speaking, 30 minutes to 2 hours is best. Your veterinarian can give you more specific guidelines.

Whether you are seasoned camper who likes to rough it or a car camper that stays a bit closer to civilization, you can enrich the outdoor experience by bringing along your pooch. After all, your pet is a member of the family, and nothing beats family camping.
