Take It Easy!

We’ve had some awesome weather the past few days, haven’t we?  It’s hard not to notice how many people have taken advantage by getting their dogs and there walking shoes and heading out to enjoy the sunshine.  It’s a great idea BUT be careful not to do too much too quickly!  If you haven’t kept your dog on a steady exercise schedule throughout the winter, ease your dog into it.  

Dogs can get out of shape, gain winter weight, and develop stiff joints and muscles just like us! Regular steady exercise is good physically and mentally.  Just make sure you are giving your dog ample opportunities to ease into it so that he doesn’t get injured! When in doubt check with your veterinarian to make sure your exercise plan is appropriate for YOUR dog!

Here’s to keeping our exercise as healthy as possible!
