Health and Fitness Journal

I’ve always thought that having a dog would benefit me both fitness wise and health wise. On the fitness side of things, you can enjoy a brisk walk in the park, on the beach or even a little run around in the backyard playing fetch. On the health side, animals, be they dogs, cats or anything else provide a positive vibe when you’re feeling blue.

The pit fall however is the sheer cost of owning a pet. I’ve had my Golden Retriever for many years now and I tell you the vet bills are more expensive than a trip to the doctors. Luckily, I have pet insurance that covers about 50% of the costs. Without it I don’t think I would be able to afford a dog. Almost everyday I go for a power walk with Rocky and he absolutely loves to run around chasing the ball. This has seen me keep in shape and at the same time feel positive every morning after our run. I highly recommend a dog as a good fitness partner for those looking for one.
