So you’ve seen all the Instagram posts of runners with their dogs living the dream.
And now you’re thinking of getting a canine yourself too, or perhaps starting to take the family dog on runs – and why wouldn’t you? Muddy shoes, tongues out (both humans and dogs), and miles and miles of trails with your best mate.
Our canine besties are the best motivators to get outdoors, and a good running buddy will never say no to a run.
As a vet in urban Auckland, I see way too many dog owners living in town with frustrated hunting dogs like German Shorthaired Pointers (GSPs) and Viszlas. They’re beautiful dogs and have stamina for days, but without the right routine and exercise,hours.
