Your Dog's Health and Helpful Links

PLAYTIME

Playing for dogs is no different than playing for humans. It's a good mental break, good physical activity, a good stress reliever. Physically, mentally, and emotionally, it's healthy.

Whether chasing a ball in the yard or attending a structured class, exercise or play is vital in helping dogs expend pent-up energy. Without that outlet they may show behavioral problems that can range from destructive tendencies to attention-seeking antics.
