Here’s a fun and easy way to track your dog’s activity level…
Start counting your dog’s steps with this awesome pedometer for dogs!
This entire kit is FREE just for asking. [I got mine]

This pedometer for dogs is from Novartis Animal Health (the makers of Deramaxx).
Whether your dog is overweight, suffering from canine arthritis, or just doesn’t get out & about as much as he used to, this one-of-a-kind pet pedometer can be used to track your dog’s daily number of steps.
According to the Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, a pet pedometer is an accurate way to track the daily activity level of dogs.
Plus, when you request your FREE dog pedometer, you also get a FREE Step Up & Play Kit which includes the latest edition of Play More magazine.
Play More magazine aims to encourage exercise and playtime for all dogs by offering expert advice and tips on controlling your dog’s arthritis pain. This magazine will help you understand the special health needs of dogs today, especially ones with canine arthritis.
With your FREE dog pedometer, and Play More magazine in hand, you’ll have a fun way to encourage playful activity and exercise for your dog with the whole family.
Offer valid for U.S. residents. Available while supplies last.

I like to help Dog Parents find unique ways to do things that will save time & money — so I write about "outside the box" Dog Tips and Dog Hacks that most wouldn't think of. I’m a lifelong dog owner — currently have 2 mixed breed Golden Aussies that we found abandoned on the side of the road as puppies. I've always trained my own dogs and help friends train theirs, as well. Professionally, I worked at a vet and have several friends who are veterinarians — whom I consult with regularly. (And just because I love animals so much, I also worked at a Zoo for awhile!) I've been sharing my best ideas with others by blogging full-time since 1998 (the same year that Google started… and before the days of Facebook and YouTube). My daily motivation is to help first-time dog owners be better prepared from the first day your new puppy enters your home. I like to help dog owners understand what's 'normal' and what you can expect in terms of living with and training your dog — how to get through the ups & downs of potty training, chewing, teaching commands, getting your dog to listen, and everything else that takes place during that hectic first year! When I'm not training, walking, grooming, or making homemade treats for my dogs, you will find me at the corner of Good News & Fun Times as publisher of The Fun Times Guide (32 fun & helpful websites). To date, I've written over 500 articles for dog owners on this site!
