The sights, smells, sensations, and sounds go a long way for an active pet, and even a simple walk around the block can reduce the chances of weight gain and it\u2019s <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bowmanvet.com\/blog\/golden-girls-and-good-boys-senior-pet-care-and-health\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">associated health conditions<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your active pet may enjoy different places to walk, run or hike, provided the conditions are safe. Don\u2019t be afraid to provide a different location to liven up the repetitive nature of the same old neighborhood. Play a rousing game or fetch with their preferred ball or Frisbee.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Intervals<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An active pet thrives when things are different and exciting. To meet this requirement, introduce the idea of interval training. Start with a walk, then increase the heart rate with a jog. Over time you can build up to a full-on run. Hikes are also very challenging even for a pet that\u2019s in great shape.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remember, make it fun and memorable. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bowmanvet.com\/blog\/5-ways-to-love-your-pet-in-the-new-year\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reward your pet<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with praise, affection and a treat or two!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t Forget About Your Cat!<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unfortunately, indoor-only cats get the short shrift when it comes to physical and mental exertion, but it doesn\u2019t have to be this way. While you are focusing on your own physique, hold flashlights or laser pointers and get your cat working out alongside you. You could also tie their favorite toys to your kettlebells or free weights (be super careful about this!) and watch them go on the hunt. Prepare to get interrupted by fits of laughter!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Treating Your Active Pet<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While you want to keep your pet at their ideal weight, it\u2019s okay to indulge them occasionally. This is the perfect time to create delicious doggie and kitty treats together. There are lots of different recipes online that you can try your hand (and paw) at. Remember to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bowmanvet.com\/blog\/kibble-questions-understanding-pet-nutrition\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">count their calories<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> so they aren\u2019t over eating.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You and Your Pet<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/bowmanvet.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bowman Veterinary Hospital<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, we are committed to the human-animal bond.
