Don’t let chilly days stop your dog’s routine

When the temperature drops and the evenings get darker, it’s tempting to cut back on your dog’s exercise—but dogs still need daily walks in winter to stay physically and mentally healthy.

At Chrysidis Pet Care, I offer after-4PM dog walks in Gateshead for just £11 per walk, year-round. Here’s why keeping up with those walks—rain or shine—is so important.

1. Exercise Needs Don’t Stop in Winter

Most dogs need at least one walk per day, even in colder weather. Regular walks help maintain a healthy weight, support joint function, and burn off energy—so your dog stays relaxed at home.

2. Mental Stimulation is Just as Important

Walks aren’t just physical—they’re a chance to sniff, explore, and engage the senses. Cold weather might shorten your walk, but even 20–30 minutes helps prevent boredom and behavioral issues.

3. It Supports Healthy Sleep and Routine

Keeping up your dog’s regular walking schedule helps them sleep better, eat more consistently, and stay in sync with their normal routine.

4. It Prevents Restlessness Indoors

If your dog is pacing, barking more, or chewing things they shouldn’t—it could be due to lack of exercise. A quick outdoor walk can reset their energy.

5. I Make Winter Walks Safe and Comfortable

At Chrysidis Pet Care, I walk dogs:
