| Re: working age and weight (service)
As one of my dogs aged and was slowing down, I asked my vet how to evaluate when to stop some activities with him. Some of his favorites he would have done full bore if we had cut off 3 legs! The vet said to not try to evaluate him when he was doing the activities he loved the most as his passion and drive would overcome any discomfort he felt. He suggested doing my evaluations at other key times like after he had been resting after physical activity (those of us who are older can all relate to that one! LOL), when it was colder or chilly and windy, etc.
This was a very good tool for my crazy, drivey dog! |
