History of Active Dog Month
Active Dog Month became a holiday out of the inspiration of Om Shanti Pups, a blog website that writes about natural and holistic treatments to take care of your dog. Natasha Thompson, the blogger, and creator of Om Shanti Pups created Active Dog Month out of a long winter up in Alaska, where she noticed that her dog was feeling cabin fever too. Hence she proclaimed the month of April Active Dog Month, a month dedicated to keeping your dog active, happy, and healthy.
Om Shanti Pups gives her readers plenty of activities and ideas to do during Active Dog Month. According to her webpage, she gives tips on how to keep your dog active, such as getting them a leash, starting with 10-minute walks, play chase, play frisbee, learn nose work, and more. She also provides dog games, puzzle games, and more. Om Shanti Pups is a great holistic blog to follow and if you’re looking for great ways to keep your dog healthy, then follow Om Shanti Pups and check her blog out on social media.
