Summer is almost here! That means sun, shades, and more opportunities to get outside with your favorite four-legged friend! Take advantage of the warm weather and get in some exercise! Your dog will thank you for it. The summer months are the perfect time to do a little extra exploring or to find some new activities. Check out these fun activities you can do with your dog in the spring and summer months!
Â
Dog Beach Trip
Dig those toes – and paws! – into the warm sand. But make sure you’re at a beach that is cool with you bringing your sweet pup. Dog’s love playing in the sand and even the water. It’s a great way to soak up the sun and get them the exercise they’re craving!
Â
Sprinkler or pool
If your dog loves water, then this is a great way to keep cool as the temperatures begin to rise. You can also play fetch by having your pal retrieve a ball or toy from the water - safely, of course.
Â
Agility course
Set up a few obstacles in the yard – think hula-hoops and agility cones – and enjoy some pet-friendly exercise. Physical activity is a great way to keep your dog in shape by strengthening their joint, muscles, and heart. Be sure to keep a fresh bowl of water nearby to ensure they’re staying hydrated while they’re enjoying some outdoor activities.
Â
Camping
Dogs like to ruff it, right? It’s a bad pun, but a fun activity for the two of you. Roughing it in the woods is a great way to mix up the fun. Before you blaze those trails, make sure your dog is up to date on their flea and tick treatments!
