Embracing Your Health and Wellness Journey with Your Dog in Colorado

Balancing personal health goals with the joys of dog parenting can be a challenge. Juggling workouts, dog walks, and ensuring a nutrient-rich diet for both yourself and your canine companion demands strategic effort. The good news is that dogs can play an integral role in your health and wellness journey, helping hold you accountable and being a support along the way. As such, we're thrilled to announce our official partnership with UCHealth. Brutus Broth and UCHealth share a common mission of health and wellness, and together we are collaborating through the Ready. Set. CO program to empower you and your furry friend in achieving holistic well-being.

Build Community: Strengthening Bonds in Colorado

The phrase "it takes a village" holds true not only for humans but also for our canine companions. Not only is community important for our wellbeing, it’s important for our dog’s wellbeing. New research is showing that dogs who are more socialized, and therefore experience less stress, are being associated with better canine health. Want to get your dog out and about? UCHealth has compiled a list of the best off-leash dog parks in Colorado, one of which is a 107-acre fenced area! And for yourself, don’t miss out on UCHealth events, classes, and support groups to help build a like-minded community.

Join us as we embark on this exciting partnership, where health is not just a goal but a shared experience. Here’s to happier, healthier lives for all of us (even the pups)! Embrace the journey and the joy of wellbeing, both for yourself and your furry friends.
