There are many benefits associated with regularly walking your dog, including improved cardiovascular fitness, stronger muscles and bones and decreased stress – and that’s just for your dog!

Taking regular walks provides humans with a foundation for physical and mental health, too. So, what are you waiting for – grab that lead, grab Fido and take a step into the great outdoors.

Below are some popular dog parks around Perth you might like to visit:

The Glades Dog Park, Byford

As this park is a bit further out of the metro area it is a nice quiet spot to bring dogs that may not like to socialise as much.
