We know fall is the time that many people get more active. The heat tends to back off a bit and it is the ideal time to get out on the trails or in the yard. If you are planning to work out, include your dogs. Here are some tips on how to work out with your furry friends.

How to Include Your Dogs in Your Health Regime This Year

Swimming: There is no better way than getting yourself and your companion animals cool on a hot day. Swimming is a great way to get plenty of exercise, and your pets might enjoy it more if you brought a ball for them to retrieve.

Play Interactive Fetch: If your dogs love to fetch a ball, then enjoy an evening throwing one for them. Dogs love fetching objects.

Join A Group: There are canine groups that run or walk 5Ks for charities. You can let your pets enjoy fresh air, work out, and meet other furry pals all while raising money for a cause you chose. Search online for your local canine marathon groups.

Hiking: Dogs love a change of scenery because it welcomes new views and smells. Go ahead a take stroll with your dogs, it may even relieve stress if they are feeling down lately.

Remember to go at a pace that is safe for you and your pets, and stop for hydration often. Your furry companions cannot say when they are thirsty or too hot, so watch for abnormal signs. If your dogs are experiencing heat stroke, contact our veterinarians right away for treatment.
