Notes
This is not a food recipe but a dog exercise guide. Always carry water during exercise sessions. Check paws regularly for cuts or wear. Gradually increase exercise intensity over several weeks. Senior dogs and those with health conditions require veterinary clearance before beginning new exercise programs. Wait at least one hour after meals before intensive exercise to prevent bloat.
