Join the 'Wellness Pet Minutes That Matter Challenge'

As Mental Health Awareness Month unfolds this May, Wellness Pet Company is excited to unveil the 'Wellness Pet Minutes That Matter Challenge' in partnership with Strava, the well-known app focused on fitness enthusiasts. Over an entire month, pet owners and their furry companions are encouraged to engage in meaningful activity together, whether through daily jogs around the neighborhood or adventurous weekend hikes in nature. Research underscores the positive impact of spending quality time with pets on both mental and physical health, making this challenge particularly timely.

Why Join?

The idea behind the challenge is straightforward yet powerful: participants are tasked with logging 250 active minutes alongside their dogs throughout the month. By harnessing the Strava platform – which boasts 150 million users and records over 40 million activities every week – engagement is not only encouraged but rewarded. This initiative aims to highlight the numerous benefits that pets and their owners can experience from regular activity, balanced nutrition, and those cherished moments spent together.

Allison Giorgio, the Chief Marketing Officer of Wellness Pet Company, shared her enthusiasm about the challenge, stating, "Wellbeing is something to be shared between pets and pet parents. Our partnership with Strava is a perfect reminder to dedicate more time to our bonds with our dogs. Movement is not just fun; it significantly enhances our mental and physical health, especially when complemented with high-quality nutrition."
