AKC Fit Dog - Canine Form & Fitness

 Now more than ever, fitness is important for both dogs and people. The most commonly recommended exercise to improve fitness is walking. Walking is considered a safe activity that improves muscular strength, circulation, memory, weight loss, increases energy, helps with sleep, and reduces stress. The American Heart Association recommends walking a minimum of 150 minutes per week. Participation in the AKC FIT DOG program will bring health benefits to both you and your dog. 

Being an AKC FIT DOG proudly declares to the world that you are committed to your dog’s health and fitness through regular exercise.
