Get Outside with your Furry Friend !

The weather is definitely warming up and it’s worth moving your exercise to the outdoors to soak it up! Opt for a quick afternoon job outside rather than running on a treadmill inside. Hop in a swimming pool for a couple of laps instead of cycling indoors and most importantly - take your little "tubby puppy" with you.

After all, it’s taken a long time for spring to come this year so it’s worth enjoying! All winter long your furry friend has been laying around and taking short walks due to the cold elements. Now, it's time to slim down... both of you!

Explore New Routes

You’ll have to take your dog outside for a potty break anyways, right? Why not freshen up the route you both take so that you aren’t begrudgingly walking along the same route you do every week and your dog isn’t smelling the same spots they always do. Shake things up a bit! Grab that dog leash and head out the door. Check out Cabo Dog Boutique's new Clip-on Dog Leash Accessory Bag. You can add your must have items and attach it all to the dog leash.

Find a local dog park or a trail outdoors, grab bottled water for you and your pet and hit the ground running …or walking! Or try a great travel dog bowl to take - every little athlete needs one. You can even take your dog to some MLB watching parties and enjoy our sports apparel for dogs.

Play Dog Games

The same tug-of-war game in the living room can get a bit old after awhile. Take your pet outside for a game of fetch with a new dog toy or try out a dog sport such as agility training or Frisbee catching. You’ll love the variety and your dog will love the new competitive challenge.

Train for a Race

It’s the perfect weather to hit the road, beach or grass and begin training for a small race like a 5K. There are plenty of opportunities to support a 5K in your community as many of them give their proceeds to local foundations and charities. A 5K is about the perfect distance for dogs to walk, sniff or spring alongside you. Don't forget your dog poop bags - in some places, it's the law.

Getting outside with your pet will help you both to be more healthy and build that “man’s best friend” bond between you. So get out there and enjoy the weather now before it gets too hot and lose those few pounds you both gained over the winter!

Cabo Dog Boutique has wonderful summer items for your dog such as: dog swimsuits, dog toys, dog treats, eco friendly dog items, and dog apparel.
