A good walk exercises more than your dog’s legs! During National Walk Your Dog Week, remember that walks can also be an important form of mental enrichment. Giving your dog time to sniff, explore new surroundings and experience different sights, sounds and smells can help keep their mind engaged.

Sometimes the best walk isn’t about how far you go—it’s about giving your dog the opportunity to explore the world around them!

Today is World Animal Day—a day dedicated to raising awareness and improving the lives and welfare of animals around the world.

One way to think about animal welfare is through the Five Freedoms, which recognize that animals deserve not only proper food, shelter and veterinary care, but also freedom from fear and distress and the ability to express normal behaviors.

Whether they share our homes, work alongside us or depend on people for their care, every animal deserves the opportunity to live a healthy, comfortable life.

In honor of , learn more about The Five Freedoms of Animal Welfare and the important role each of us can play in supporting the well-being of animals.
