🐾 Gentle Exercises for Our Senior Dogs 🐾
Our old pups deserve every extra moment of joy and comfort. Gentle, low-impact exercises can make a big difference in their daily happiness. Here’s why:

✅Supports mobility and balance, reducing the risk of falls
✅Aids in weight management and overall energy
✅Improves mood and mental sharpness
✅Supports heart health and circulation
✅Provides bonding time with you
Easy, safe options:
🐶Short leash walks (5–15 minutes) a few times a day
🐶Slow, steady range-of-motion stretches (hips, shoulders)
🐶Gentle tail-wags with interactive toys
🐶Water-assisted activities if available (swimming or paddling)
🐶Indoor stair climbing if advised by your vet (start very slowly)
Tips for success:
Check with your Physio or vet before starting any new routine
Keep sessions short and enjoyable; end on a positive note
Watch for signs of fatigue, pain, or coughing; stop if needed
Use soft surfaces and proper harnesses to reduce strain
Hydrate and provide rest days
