Pets Staying Fit And Fashionable in Dog Helmets
CLARKS SUMMIT, PENNSYLVANIA - Rockstar Puppy owner, Jessica Auria, has an extensive line of dog helmets to complement the four-legged friends exercising with their owners.
Dog biker apparel and accessories includes designer dog tags for dogs whose name and picture can appear on a driver's license. Shopping for dog harnesses is made easy at the online pet boutique that has items ranging from dog hats to jewelry, and sunglasses.
For the Rockstar puppy who works out with their owners, dog sneakers for pets are also sold at the online store for pooches.
"Sneakers are a great must-have to add to anyone's wardrobe, especially when working out." said Auria, the provider of dog houses. "That means your pooch can wear sneakers too and join you in your workout routine."
And for the fitness-conscious who also cares about keeping their pets fit, there are eight exercises from walking to biking for owners and pets to do together while remaining in shape, according to a recent WomansDay.com article. However, talk to your regular veterinarian before beginning a fitness program with your pet.
Exercises for the owners and pet:
Walking is an exercise that dogs and their owners do together to stay active. Pets are less likely to be injured walking, but endurance should be built first when you start a new fitness routine with your dog. Do not over extend yourself or your pet. Walk two blocks for every 10 pounds of dog and increase the distance weekly.
Running is better for larger breeds since smaller breeds aren't natural runners. Some toy dogs with short noses have breathing problems. Avoid overexertion by starting slow and building stamina.
Fetching, throwing and retrieving for the owner and pet works out the owner's upper arms.
From doing bicep curls with small dogs you can lift to tricep dips with your small dog on your lap as you lift, strength training and muscle building can be done, even as you do squats while your dog sits.
Swimming, a non-impact sport, offers cardio and resistance training for you and your dog, but is recommended for larger breeds like retrievers and spaniels. Small breeds like bulldogs, pugs, and chihuahuas are better at land routines. Rockstar Puppy has a variety of doggie life jackets in various colors and designs to fit all dogs.
Biking with your pet jogging beside you is better for the larger breeds including labs, pit bulls, and other muscular breeds. Fitness level should be slowly built up until your dog has the endurance to run alongside you. Never tie the leash to any parts of the bike including the handle bars to ensure the safety of you and your pet. Rockstar Puppy Boutique has dog helmets to be worn for bike rides if your pooch runs or rides with you while biking, and a dog bike trailer for pet travel can be added to your shopping cart.
Yoga increases strength and flexibility for you and your dog as you teach your pooch to upward and downward dog moves. Do planks over your pet while your dog lays down. This exercise is also a good form of bonding from seated stretches with your small canine in your lap to final relaxation.
After the workout, Auria's online pet boutique has a relaxing dog spa category with options of pampering your pet from soaking in a fancy bathtub to being showered in fresh fragrances, and draping your pooch in a luxurious bathrobe or hooded towel. Rockstar puppy deals with the total pet with gift certificates available from $15 to $500 for the dog lovers who want to spoil their furry friends, Auria said.
