The Great Outdoors: How Nature Time Boosts Your Dog’s Mood (And Yours Too)

Apr 4, 2025

Dogs are natural explorers—just like us. Whether it’s a quiet trail or a romp through the backyard, nature time is more than just “fun”—it’s fuel for their wellbeing.

Here’s what the outdoors offers:

  • Mental Stimulation: The smells, sights, and sounds of nature offer rich sensory input. It's like a spa day for their brain.

  • Physical Exercise: Uneven terrain challenges muscles in ways a sidewalk can’t—great for coordination and joint health.

  • Bonding Time: A walk in the woods or a beach adventure creates calm, connected moments (not to mention great Instagram opportunities).

Make the most of outdoor time by prepping your dog with wellness essentials. Hydration is a must, of course—but don’t forget support for joints, seasonal allergies, and recovery. A soft chew before or after the hike? That’s our kind of trail mix.
