Exercise for your senior pet can help minimize loss of muscle and strength, decrease weight gain and obesity, and can help with joint pain and stiffness.

The amount of exercise your pet needs depends on how active your pet has been recently and what health issues they may have. If your pet has not been very active, then you can start out slowly with short walks and increase them as they get used to them. One of the most important things is to be consistent!
