Playing sports is one of life's great pleasures. It is also one of the best ways to stay fit and take care of our bodies inside and out. That is why sharing any sporting activity with our ARISTODOG becomes a fantastic plan: to get to know each other better, spend more time together, and keep both of you healthier.
Today we are thinking of all those runners who go running with their dogs. But especially those who are thinking about doing so. Go for it! It is true that the cold is coming, but with the right clothing there is no problem. You only need to try it once to become convinced that it is a worthwhile routine. In addition, to make things easier for you, today we are sharing with you the best mobile apps for going running with your dog. It will be much more fun!
Always bear in mind that, depending on the type of dog you have, they may or may not enjoy this activity. Always respect their wishes and pay attention to when they may feel tired or want to drink water. Some dogs, such as brachycephalic breeds, may find this plan very dangerous because they have difficulty breathing, and under no circumstances should they be forced to run more than they want to.
(If running is not your thing, you can always switch to doga. Still don't know what that is? We explain it all in this post).
Dog walking
Dog walking is the app for exercising with your dog. Record your daily walks with them and all your sporting activities. Distance, time, map, calories burned, number of steps, and speed. It constantly monitors and stores all the data, creating a diary to keep track of your workouts and your dog's on your iPhone and Apple Watch.
Set your outing goals and improve your fitness without overexertion by tracking the calories burned on each walk and during each sport. Dog Walking will also remind you when it is time to go for a walk. In addition, the built-in step counter tracks your steps and your dog's, monitoring whether the recommended daily limit is reached.
It costs 0.99 euros.
Petometer
It is an app similar to Endomondo (runners will surely know it), but in a dog version. It is perfect for any outing you take with your pet. It lets you see the route you are taking and also reminds you when you should take your dog out for a walk. This helps you plan your daily walks, track the time and distance of the walk or run, and know the pace you and your pet maintained.
In addition, you have a history of all your runs and routes, and even custom exercise plans for you and your pet. Each new outing can be shared on Facebook so everyone knows how much time you dedicate to your dog and how much fun you have together.
Petometer is available for iOS and Android and is free.
Map my dog walk
This free app, also available for iPhone or iPad, is from the same creators as the Map My Run app. Ideal for those who like taking their dog on long walks or going running.
It provides real-time tracking of the route, time, distance, speed, pace, and calories during fitness activities using the enabled mobile device's GPS.

At ARISTOSHOP you will find everything you need to equip your dog so that your shared sporting activity goes wonderfully.
