During the colder months it may be hard to get your dog outside for long periods of time. Long walks may be a thing of the past and not come around again until the warmer weather. But your dog still needs to exercise and move about, so what can you do? Here are some indoor activities to help your dog get rid of some extra energy and to keep his mind moving. Note that you should talk to your vet before trying these with your dog. One suggested indoor activity is walking on the treadmill. You can keep it on slow so your dog can walk at an even pace. Always supervise and always ask your vet first. You can always play fetch indoors with your pup. Use a soft toy or soft Nerf ball and lightly throw it or roll it around on the floor for your dog to chase. Ask your reputed veterinary clinic Des Moines, IA for more tips.
