But You need to take a few precautions to ensure that your four-legged friend stays nice and safe when running at your side
Not all dog breeds are equal when it comes to running. Check if your pet can handle moderate exercise for an extended period. Short-legged and short-nosed dogs often struggle with running. Running with a puppy younger than seven months is not recommended. Make sure your dog's skeleton has matured (up to 20 months for some breeds) before running with them. Consult your vet for a check-up to ensure your dog is fit for exercise.
Just like humans, dogs need to ease into running to avoid injury. Start each session with a warm-up, alternating between running and slow jogging. This gives your pet freedom and a chance to do their business (bring a plastic bag). Set a pace your dog can keep up with without working too hard. It's better for them to pull on the lead rather than you pulling them.
Run away from road traffic to reduce accident risk and protect your tendons from tarmac impact. Running in a natural environment gives your dog more freedom and stimulates their sense of smell. Before letting them off the lead, ensure they follow basic commands, keep them in sight, and check for young children who might be frightened.
Dogs need to drink often, especially when exercising. Stop every 15 minutes for water breaks. Bring a container if your dog can't drink from a bottle. Avoid running in hot weather and check ground temperature since dogs aren't wearing shoes.
For food, don't feed your dog within an hour before exercising. Adapt their diet with more protein and calcium based on their activity level. Regularly check their weight and consult your vet if there are changes.
After each run, check your dog's legs for cuts to prevent infection. Reward your dog for a good run—they deserve it! Pay attention to their breathing. If their heart rate doesn't drop and they remain out of breath for several minutes, you may have overworked them.
