Dogs aren't always smart enough to give themselves enough exercise on their own. Walking is an excellent way to regulate their daily exercise, and also a great way to maintain a healthy relationship with the dog. I walk my dog several miles a day, every day. It's just something you have to decide to make time for, like exercising yourself. Ultimately, I've found that it's the best way to regulate weight.

Well Alaska is a big place. I do know that they have Petco pet stores in Anchorage and Juneau, if that helps, but I can understand shipping being a bear. Plug your zip code into

This is the kind of response that's going to make people think twice before trying to help you out. When I typed out "-0" I meant to say below 0. I used to have a family cabin up in the Rockies, and I've taken both my dogs up there in cold weather.
