As we celebrate National Walk Your Dog Week from October 1-7, it’s the perfect time to highlight the importance of regular walks for our canine companions. It’s also a great opportunity to shine a light on the exceptional dog walking services offered by 4-Legged Kids, Inc. National Walk Your Dog Week, founded in 2010 by pet lifestyle expert Colleen Paige, aims to raise awareness about canine obesity and promote the numerous benefits of daily walks for both dogs and their human companions. Let’s dig in!
