Fit Dog Fit Nation

As a part of National Pet Week, on Sunday, May 2, 2010, we will be kicking off Fit Dog Fit Nation Day by enjoying a hike with our dogs at Walnut Creek Park in Austin. Although Austin is known for having some of the fittest dogs around, the movement has a simple concept, it stresses the importance of fitness on both our dogs and ourselves as an entire nation.

Exercise is so important for our dogs and it’s great encouragement to get out and do something will benefit not only them, but ourselves too!  Fit Dog Fit Nation goes beyond only focusing on the importance of fitness for one day, but hopefully creating a chain of events that leads to more activities that benefit dogs and humans.  Stressing a the importance and benefits of a fit dog and a fit nation falls perfectly into this year’s National Pet Week theme, which is “Healthy Together”.

Please join us on May 2 for our Fit Dog Fit Nation event; the hike starts at 10:30 and we will be crossing the stream in a few places so please dress appropriately and bring a towel for your dog.  If you cannot make it to our event, please consider doing something else with your dog that promotes the very important message.  Hope to see everyone on May 2!
