The Hidden Issue: Overweight Dogs in the U.S.
Recent studies show that over half of dogs in the U.S. are overweight or obese, yet many pet parents don’t notice. Even a few extra pounds can increase risks for joint problems, diabetes, and heart issues.
The good news? Something as simple as a consistent walking routine—combined with the right gear—can greatly improve your dog’s health.

Why Walking Is the Best Exercise for Dogs
Daily walks help with:
-
Weight management by burning calories
-
Mental enrichment through sights and smells
-
Joint mobility to keep your pup moving comfortably
-
Bonding between you and your dog
But to make walks safe and effective, your pup needs the right gear.
How the Right Harness Makes a Difference
A traditional collar can strain your dog’s neck, especially if they pull. A no-pull harness distributes pressure across the chest, making walks safer and more comfortable—especially for dogs working on their fitness.
👉 Try the Dogistry No-Pull Step-In Harness, designed to reduce tugging while keeping your pup secure and stylish.
Build a Healthy Walk Routine
To help your dog lose weight safely, follow these steps:
-
Start Small – Begin with 15–20 minute walks twice a day.
-
Stay Consistent – Aim for at least 30–45 minutes of walking daily.
-
Mix It Up – Add light jogging, uphill walks, or fetch breaks.
-
Track Progress – Monitor weight and stamina over time.
Pair this with a balanced diet (consult your vet) for the best results.
