Go for a Walk
Your pet needs to go outside sometimes to get fresh air; even something as simple as a walk down the street can make its day. It’ll enjoy walking with you around the neighborhood to check out new sights and smells. You can choose a different route every time you want to walk it so that neither of you grows bored.
Exercise Together
While you can’t visit the gym with your pet, you can still get fit with it outside. Consider doing exercises like jogging, running, hiking, and even swimming if your pet loves the water. However, when swimming with your pet, make sure you use pet-friendly pool chemicals to ensure its safety and health.
For active cats and dogs, running is a perfect choice, although you can let your pet work out in any way it likes. As long as it enjoys doing the activity with you, it will be good for it.
Go Shopping
Shopping with your pet is always a good idea when you’re in the mood. Luckily, there are many shops that allow pets to go inside with their owners. Treat your dog by buying it goodies, like food or toys; it will love that. However, there’s one thing to keep in mind when you want to do this kind of activity: make sure you don’t plan to stop at non-pet-friendly stores during the same trip. Save those trips for a later time.
Go on Vacation
Another tip is to look for pet-welcoming destinations and take your pet on vacation. These days, you can do more than just a camping trip with your little friend; there are many pet-friendly accommodations and activities that will make your vacation more enjoyable. You no longer have to leave your furry friend at home!
Visit Pet-Friendly Restaurants and Cafés
Eating outside is one of the best ways to make your pet happy. So find pet-friendly restaurants and cafés near you. You can also take it a step further by choosing one that has a special menu for your pet. Let your little companion pick for themselves what to eat and drink. This will also give you an opportunity to get to know other pet owners in your area.
Workouts, activities, vacations—you can opt for any of these if you want some energizing ways to spend more time with your pet outdoors. As long as you get moving together, you’re on the right track.
