It depends on the age of your dog, the breed of your dog and if your dog is currently in shape or not, but we want your dog to be up and active on a daily basis. Usually several times a day will be best. Even just a small, short walk can be what some smaller dogs need, but more active dogs, especially those that are a bit larger and younger, can have more need for longer walks or more intense types of exercise.

Dogs generally need quite a bit of activity. And many times, it's much more than some owners are willing to do, especially if we're working a lot and are overall tired ourselves. But generally, they need quite a bit of activity to help keep their weight off and go through those calories they are eating and help stimulate their minds.

We pretty much use medications for dogs the same way as in humans. Dog medications are something that we use every single day. We have pills, ointments, liquids, and injections. So many things that are available to us to help your overall dog's health and use as part of preventative care.
