Is Your Dog Getting Too Much Exercise or Not Enough?


Listen Later

Is your dog getting the right amount of exercise, or are they overdoing it without you realizing?
Whether your pup is high-energy, low-key, or somewhere in between, knowing how to safely meet their physical needs is crucial to keeping them healthy and pain-free. But most pet parents don’t know when to push their dog or when to let them rest.

In this episode, I talk with Dr. Kelly Fishman, a veterinary sports medicine expert, about how to customize exercise for your dog’s breed, age, and lifestyle and how to spot the signs of overexertion before it leads to injury.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL DISCOVER:

  • How to gauge the right level of daily activity for your dog
  • Red flags that your dog may be pushing too hard
  • Simple strategies to protect joints, boost mobility, and keep dogs active through every stage of life

Dr. Fishman’s practical, prevention-focused advice will help you support your dog’s health from puppyhood to senior years, without burnout, boredom, or unnecessary injury.
