Exercise is just as important during the winter months when bad weather doesn't always permit outdoor activities. If it is too cold outside to exercise your dog, develop fun-filled indoor activities that are suitable for the size of the dog and the amount of space you have available. Swimming is another good type of exercise, but don't let your dog overdo it. It will be using new muscles and may tire quickly. You should always be in a position to help your dog out of the water because even a strong swimmer can drown if exhausted.
Puppies eat more and are highly active.
Adult dogs have normal routines and food intake. Older dogs might require special diets and limited exercise. The American Kennel Club was established in 1884 to promote the study, breeding, exhibiting and advancement of purebred dogs. Supports and promotes the sport of purebred dogs. Only dog clubs may be AKC members.
