Are Dog People Healthier Than Cat People?
It seems so. I am not trying to make all you cat people (sorry Giggle) feel bad about your chosen companions, but a recent finding out of Queen's University in Belfast has found that when it comes to health, dog owners take the cake.
Dog owners tended to have lower blood pressure and cholesterol as well as fewer minor ailments and serious medical problems.

Exercise With Your Dog and Lose More Weight
I love to take my pooch Bonnie out for walks and jogs because I know we both benefit from the fresh air and exercise.

Get PetFit With Gunnar and Molly
Trainer to the stars, Gunnar Peterson along with the help of Molly Sims, is looking to get people active with their pets in the PetFit Challenge. This nationwide challenge aims to get pets and their owners on track for an active, healthy, and happy life together. I love the idea so I'll be signing up my dog and myself, as we can both always use the extra push to get moving — let's hope she likes lunges as much as I do.
