Proper exercise plays a vital role in pet health, but inappropriate exercise can lead to serious injury or, as in heat stroke, life-threatening illness.

Pets love to play and don’t always know their limits, so it’s up to you to set firm boundaries on what’s safe and what’s not. This includes AVOIDING:

🚫 Exercise during inclement or extreme weather (including heat)
🚫 Slippery surfaces
🚫 Overexertion (stop before your pet gets tired)
🚫 “Weekend warrior” syndrome (moderate, consistent exercise is best)

Despite your best efforts, accidents sometimes happen. If you notice your pet is painful or behaving abnormally, contact your veterinarian for guidance.

Not all exercise is created equal! 🏋️ Inappropriate or excessive exercise can harm your pet’s joints, worsen painful arthritis, or lead to heatstroke, orthopedic injuries, or other serious conditions.

Exercise responsibly: Talk to your veterinarian about your pet’s daily routine during every wellness visit to ensure your chosen activities and their duration and frequency are appropriate and safe for your pet’s health, body condition, and life stage!
