Probably the most important benefit of regular dog exercise is that it just simply makes your dog happier. Many dogs get anxious and fearful as their bodies age and exercise is a great way to counteract this anxiety. Older dogs shouldn’t be expected to exercise at the same level of intensity as younger dogs, though. Where you may take a younger dog out for a long run, an older dog will benefit from a more leisurely, less strenuous walk. Make sure your senior dog gets plenty of water before, during, and after all exercising and monitor your dog for any signs of stress or fatigue. Make it fun! It’s a great way to bond with your senior dog.
