Older dogs start to feel aches and pains. If they are stiff after resting following a walk, they are doing too much and may well need some pain relief to keep them comfortable. Most dogs require two walks a day of around 40 mins each time. While it might be a great excuse for every member of the household to enjoy some time outdoors with their dog, excessive exercise could cause both physical and mental issues for your pooch. Remember, an overtired dog can be a grumpy dog. With the weather getting warmer, we all need to take great care not to exercise our dogs during the hottest part of the day. All dogs struggle in hot weather, and the consequences of not recognising this can lead to tragic consequences.
