☀ It's beach season! ☀
In the hotter months, a lot of us love to bring our dogs for a trip to the seaside for a fun trip out, but did you know these terrains can be very challenging for their joints and tissues?
⛱ If you have ever tried to navigate the pebbles, loose sand or the sea you know how much extra effort it requires, now imagine this force through your dog's legs as they zoom about, or play fetch!
⛱ This extra work is why it is VERY important to allow rest following trips to the beach. We recommend a gentle day of rest and only short walks the day after to allow your dog's body to recover.
🐾If your dog is often sore following beach trips, it may be time to tone down the activity to a gentle walk or keep to the promenade for lower impact walking!
Speak to your vet and physio to aid you with pain management and mobility for your dog in the summer.
