So at the end of our walk today I thought to myself ‘that felt like more effort then normal!’ It was a walk we do a lot - paths, cross country, uphill, downhill, flat etc. The reason it was a bit more of an effort then normal was because it was really slippy and muddy after all this rain. Without even realising I will have had multiple micro slips and my muscles and joints will have worked harder. This will be the same for you dogs - don’t underestimate the impact this wet weather could have on their joints and muscles and they may fatigue quicker and as they’re not always good at telling us! Keep an eye out for those subtle signs!
