Walk Your Dog Month is celebrated every January, specifically from January 1st to January 31st in 2025. This initiative encourages dog owners to walk their dogs daily for at least 30 minutes, promoting both physical and mental health for pets. It serves as a reminder to prioritize exercise and bonding time with our furry friends, especially considering that many dogs face obesity issues.
