How can I keep my dog active and healthy while living on the road?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Ok thank you. The exercise thing is gonna be tough. My husband is an over the road truck driver. And Muggs and I go with on the truck. But I will try harder

You are welcome! How lovely that you and Muggs go on the truck with your husband. I imagine he drives long hours, but whenever he takes a break, use the opportunity to get Muggs some exercise. Play fetch, go for a short run, walk him as much as possible. If you use every possible chance you have to exercise him, even if it's short multiple times a day, and make sure you don't feed him treats and human food, then this should help control his weight :-)
