Swimming made fun AND safe!

Ok, so I know I am a broken record with the whole exercise with your pet thing.  I assure you, its for good reason!!  With as hot as it is lately, swimming with your pet is a great option to burn calories, and tire them out for the day.  Of course, you can get involved as well and play a lively game of catch from one end to the next-you’ll be huffing and puffing before you know it!  I always have fun throwing Dude’s tennis ball into the deep end-he’ll burn so many calories to get that ball!! Talk about a workout! And, if you are enjoying swimming in a lake with your pet, its always important to keep an eye on them to make sure they aren’t getting too tired, or short of breath.  Also to keep it safe, you can also have your pet wear a doggie lifevest, or whats called Ruff Wear K-9 float coat. And, of course, make sure your pet is vaccinated before taking them to an area like a lake with a lot of pet traffic. This way, you ensure that your pet is getting a great workout, safely!  Enjoy the heat while we have it, and make sure your pet does too!
