And How Chrysidis Pet Care Can Help

Every dog has different energy levels, but one thing is true for all of them: they need regular physical and mental stimulation to stay healthy and happy. As a pet care provider in Gateshead, I often meet dogs who are sweet and well-behaved—but a little under-exercised.

Here are some signs your dog might need more activity—and how Chrysidis Pet Care can help.

1. Restlessness at Home

Is your dog constantly pacing, whining, or unable to settle down? That’s a clear sign of pent-up energy. Daily walks or time at day care can provide a productive outlet for that energy, leaving them calmer at home.

2. Chewing or Destructive Behavior

If your dog is suddenly chewing shoes, scratching furniture, or digging holes, they may be bored. Exercise reduces stress and gives them less reason to act out.

3. Weight Gain

Even slight weight gain can affect your dog’s joints and long-term health. A consistent walking schedule helps maintain a healthy weight—and you don’t have to do it alone!

4. Barking for Attention

If your dog barks constantly when left alone, they may be trying to tell you: “I need something to do!” Doggy day care or an afternoon walk can work wonders.

5. Zoomies All Evening

If your dog goes wild the moment you get home, it’s not just excitement—they’re likely storing up energy all day. A mid- or late-afternoon walk is a simple fix that improves both your evenings.
