Episode 16: Canicrossing a dog with a condition


Listen Later

In this episode, Emily talks to three dog owners whose dogs have different medical or orthopaedic health conditions which may have limited their activity.

Gabby talks about running with her German Shepherd, Willow, who has lumbosacral disease (a spinal condition).

Helene talks about canicross with her Springer Spaniel, Evie, who has been diagnosed with arthritis, a significant heart murmur and also had her spleen removed in 2023! Helene offers her advice and she has free resources for dog owners here: www.thehealthfuldoctor.com/wpwlinks

Finally, Jo talks about her canicross journey with her Labrador, Hattie, who has been diagnosed with significant elbow and mild hip dysplasia, has undergone surgery at a young age and is still fit, largely due to the canicross.

We hope you enjoy this episode and take some inspiration from these amazing dogs and their dedicated owners.
