Let Your Dog Be Your Personal Trainer

Looking to do a bit more to stay healthy—both for you, and for your beloved pet? The American Heart Association’s custom PR survey with Wakefield Research revealed some tips that ABC News’ Dr. Jen Ashton shared with her colleagues: not only do 47% of pet parents say their fur babies help them stay physically active, but an overwhelming 95% rely on their pets for stress relief.
