Bad weather doesn't mean skipping exercise. With the right prep, you and your pup can enjoy walks year-round.
Cold/Rainy Weather Tips:
Use waterproof jackets for short-haired breeds
Dry your dog thoroughly after walks
Walk during daylight for better visibility
Hot Weather Caution:
Avoid mid-day walks
Use booties to protect paws from hot pavement
Watch for signs of overheating (panting, drooling, weakness)
Alternatives Indoors:
Treadmill walks (with training)
Puzzle toys and scent games
Hide and seek or indoor fetch
