Exercising is an important part of life for animals and people alike. If you own a dog that enjoys getting out and going for a walk or a run, then make sure you take him out regularly. Dogs that are fit should be encouraged to go on long walks or runs with owners. Exercising can not only help your dog maintain his weight, but it’s also a great way to get your dog to burn excessive energy and to keep your dog mentally and physically stimulated. Just make sure you don’t overdo it. Just as you watch your own body for signs of tiredness or dehydration, watch out for the same in your dog. If he’s tired or thirsty then stop and take a break. Always carry water with you on a walk or run. If you’re just starting out take your time and work up to longer workouts. For more tips, call your vet Southern Lake County, FL.
