Leaving during the day? Or maybe you just want to relax inside for a little while? You probably send your dog in the backyard, but does he like to play outside alone?

Dogs are social creatures, which means they would always prefer to play with you in the backyard. If you have another dog, they will be more likely to want to go in the backyard if they can play with each other.

If you only have one dog and you plan on staying indoors, that doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t send your dog outside. Although your dog would prefer to play with you in the backyard, there’s still a lot more for him to do outside than there is for him to do inside!

Sending your dog outside can also keep him out of trouble. To learn more call your Port Carling Veterinary Service.
