Maintaining Healthy Habits with Doggy Daycare
Your New Resolution: Stop Being a Couch Potato
Every year or even every couple of months we start to focus on healthier habits and fitness goals. The same attention should be given to our pets. According to the Association for Pet Obesity Prevention, more than 50% of dogs in the U.S. are overweight. At Hounds Town Fort Lauderdale doggy daycare we support pet owners in helping their dogs stay active, healthy, and busy.
The Risks of Chunky Dogs
Extra weight in dogs may seem harmless, but it often leads to health problems such as joint pain, reduced mobility, diabetes, and heart disease. Obesity can also lower a dog's energy levels and affect overall quality of life.
Your fluffy pup might look cute with extra padding, but their joints aren't laughing.
Breeds at Higher Risk
Some breeds are way more likely to gain weight than others. These include:
Pugs
Beagles
Golden Retrievers
English Springer Spaniels
Border Terriers
Labradors
Cocker Spaniels
Cavalier King Charles
West Highland Terriers
For these breeds especially, regular activity and controlled diets are really important for keeping a healthy weight.
How Hounds Town Fort Lauderdale Helps
Our daycare services go way beyond exercise. We provide organized, safe, and fun environments that help both physical and mental well-being.
All-Day Play and Making Friends
Dogs get placed into groups based on size, energy level, personality, and play style. This makes sure each dog gets matched with companions who suit their needs, creating a safe and good environment.
Brain Workouts
Playgroups and new interactions give fun activities that help prevent boredom and encourage confidence. This level of brain challenge is hard to get when dogs are home alone for long periods.
Exercise as Routine
Regular play supports a healthy weight and overall fitness. At daycare, exercise happens naturally through running, playing, and interacting with other dogs under supervision.
A Tired but Happy Dog
At the end of the day, many dogs leave daycare tired from activity and brain work. This is often called the "Hounds Town Hangover" and shows a day well spent.
Your dog will be too tired to raid the treat jar when they get home.
Supporting Your Dog's Health All Year
Keeping healthy habits for your dog requires regular schedules. Doggy daycare at Hounds Town Fort Lauderdale gives the routine, activity, and friendship that help dogs keep a healthy lifestyle throughout the year.
