Pool exercise for older pets
When you have an older pet, you have to think about hip displasia, tired bones, and lack of exercise because they tend to grow tired much easier as they grow older. To help your pet move those tired muscles, you can do slow exercise in the pool. I always recommend teaching your pets how to swim, especially if you have a pool. That way, you will know if your pet falls into the pool while you aren’t home, that they know how to at least get to the side and get out safely. For your older pets, just holding their stomachs while they slowly paddle can really be exercise. It can help them get the workout they need while not forcing them to run fast or do things that younger dogs can do. If you feel like you can’t do this yourself or need help, contact me!
