dog forest.jpgThe ‘pawfect’ way for you and your pooch to get in shape for 2009.  With the cold winter months behind us and spring just around the corner, there are no more excuses for sitting inside and piling on the pounds. And what better way to get out and enjoy the fresh air than trying one of the UK’s 21 Top Dog Walks? 
-

Voted for by more than 5,500 members of the public, the list includes places all over the UK, stretching from the Fife Coastal Path all the way down to the Portsmouth Seafront. Amanda Smyth, Head of Marketing at Enjoy England says: "With the current economic climate and weak pound making holidays abroad much more expensive, we expect the number of families choosing to holiday in their own country next year to increase dramatically. What's more, a domestic break is often the easiest and best way to holiday with a pet, and with these 21 walks, if you holiday in the country, coast or even a city, there’s no excuse not to take the dog!"

Now into its second year, Hill’s Pet Nutrition and National Tourist Boards, Enjoy England, VisitWales and VisitScotland launched the 21 Top Dog Walks campaign to help increase awareness of canine obesity, which now affects up to 50 per cent of dogs. Robert Gundry, consumer marketing manager at Hill’s Pet Nutrition, says: “By simply choosing the correct diet and taking your dog for a walk twice-a-day you can help reduce canine obesity and the risk of related conditions such as heart disease, arthritis, breathing difficulties and diabetes. If you are worried about your dog’s weight make sure you visit your local vet for some advice. ”
