We all know that owning a dog can be great for our own health and wellbeing, but how do you keep your dog’s wellbeing in check? There are many ways to mentally stimulate your dog at home – such as toys and games, however getting them out of the house and allowing them to safely explore beyond the backyard is important in allowing them to expel all that physical and mental energy.
Dog parks can be a wonderful place to take your dog – they promote exercise through muscle use, increased brain activity and offer opportunities for socialisation with other dogs and people. Some of our communities feature a range of purpose-built dog parks and many of our communities have open spaces and walking paths which are just perfect for you and your dog’s next outing.

There really are so many options when it comes to getting out and about with your dog – don’t forget to follow the dog park and open space rules within your community. Use the hashtag #peetpets when posting a pic of your pet on Facebook or Instagram, we love seeing see where you take your dog (or your dog takes you!) in our Peet communities.
