RASKC invites you to walk your new dog for science!
RASKC is partnering with Bastyr University to promote an 8-week physical activity program aimed for new dog owners. Join this project by tracking your daily walks with your furry friend and help them gain the exercise they need to live a healthy, long life!
For participating in the program you will receive:
- A free collar and leash with a plastic bag holder to start walking your dog!
- A $5 coupon from “All The Best” Pet Care and some food samples after 4 weeks of participation
