Organize your own dog walks
Saturday, July 18th, 2009What about organizing your own dog walks? Right, so that sounds interesting? PDSA, UK’s leading veterinary charity can actually make that happen for you. They are organizing ‘Walkies’ throughout the month of September to raise funds for the treatment of sick and injured dogs.
To realize their dreams, PDSA is urging all dog lovers and owners to sponsor their own dog walks, no matter how big or small it is.
In case you are wondering how to organize the event, trust me PDSA is there to help you in every way. After you register at the PDSA Walkies Registration Page, they will send you an information pack comprising helpful advice and tips, posters, stickers, poop bags and certificates for walkers and all that you need to organize an event.
This is also a very innovative way of meeting vets, in case your pet is in need of one. The organization has published a report recently which says adult dogs need around 20 minutes to 2 hours of exercise a day. But in reality only 26% of dogs get less than even half an hour’s exercise a day. Worse still, 7% get no walks at all.
Lack of exercise coupled with a bad diet, can lead to obesity which can ultimately result in arthritis, diabetes and heart disease for our pawed friends, warns the report.
So this is a wonderful way to kick start your pet’s health regime that will go a long way to ensure his well being.
