Winter should not deter pet owners from keeping their pet dogs physically active. Just as humans must modify their routines to accommodate seasonal changes, your dog requires a new winter care regimen. The combination of chilly air outside and warm central heating inside is just as dangerous to a dog's coat as it is to your skin. As such, your dog should not miss its grooming regimen. Physical exercise keeps pets attentive and healthy. Doing activities together also strengthens the pet-owner relationship. So, before winter comes, think about changing your dog's exercise routine.
Not all canines are born athletes. However, if your dog enjoys running and jumping, as well as playing catch, doing so in winter is okay. In winter, you may jog, walk, rollerblade, play frisbee, and conduct obedience and agility training just as you can in other seasons. Just ensure the roads, parks, and pathways are clear and safe.
Be mindful that your dog uses energy to feel warm and perform activities when it is cold. You know your dog, so you will be able to recognize when it becomes weary or overexerts itself. Of course, do not forget to reward it.
Call your animal hospital Washington DC to make sure that your pet’s preventatives and vaccinations are up to date before taking your pet on outdoor excursions.
