Confession - I used to be a ball thrower! I even used an old tennis racket!
But now I know better - and so can you!
IT REALLY KNACKERS THEIR JOINTS AND MUSCLES! (and their brain 🤯💣)
If you have to do it, limit it to 3 throws, and make sure your dog is warmed up first, so in the middle of your walk is ideal.

Paws are not designed to grip to wooden floors or tiles. They don't have sticky powers like Spiderman! Prevent those microslips that you can't see, as well as the skidding that you do see, use non slip mats around your house and protect your dog's musculoskeletal health!

Latest research has abandoned the five minute per month of age rule. Puppies need to exercise properly in order to develop healthy joints and muscles.
Straight line exercise on different terrains, gradually building distance ✅
Short play sessions with other puppies of a similar size and age ✅
Twisting and turning at speed ❌
Jumping and landing from a height ❌
Using stairs ❌
Ball and stick throwing ❌

****Before you let your dog off lead****
Give them five to ten minutes of on lead walking and trotting to warm up their muscles prior to letting them race around. This is especially important when driving to a destination for a walk, don't just let your dogs out of the car and let them go full pelt - its a recipe for an injury!

Madog is our lovey model here, wearing a beautiful coat to keep him warm!
If your dog is used to wearing a coat in the cold weather, please remember to bring it with you! We want to keep those muscles warm following a treatment, just make sure that it fits your dog well.

The "ho**er" is extraordinarily large on a GSD! Happy Christmas! xx

I see lots of sore, older dogs after Christmas. Make sure that you give them sleep and down time to let then rest, a high step count makes them ache!

So many of these little buggers!

Give your puppy a safe space to retreat from the chaos! Puppies need LOTS of sleep and time out otherwise they get ever so naughty........🤣

Increased step count + slippery floor = risk of injury!
