00:00:01.320 --> 00:00:06.040
It's Maria's MutS and Stuff. What
a great idea. Fun I heart radio.

2
00:00:10.400 --> 00:00:14.480
Welcome to Maria's MutS and Stuff,
and with me she is. She's

3
00:00:14.519 --> 00:00:19.600
actually the goat because she is my
fifth time guest, doctor amberkar Wacky.

4
00:00:19.760 --> 00:00:23.320
Thank you so much for once again
joining me. I'm Maria's MutS and Stuff

5
00:00:23.359 --> 00:00:27.920
because you always are chock full of
such great information about our pets. Well,

6
00:00:27.960 --> 00:00:30.960
thank you for having me again.
I love being here. I know

7
00:00:31.079 --> 00:00:35.079
you do. I know it's so
much fun. Well, we're in the

8
00:00:35.119 --> 00:00:39.880
month of May and the weather is
sort of getting better in a sense.

9
00:00:39.960 --> 00:00:42.799
Right, it's not summer yet,
and I guess it means it's time for

10
00:00:42.840 --> 00:00:47.759
those of us or oh, don't
exercise their pets as much as they should.

11
00:00:47.960 --> 00:00:51.799
Now it's a good time, right
to get our pets out and get

12
00:00:51.840 --> 00:00:55.439
exercise. It also helps us too, right, we'll walk your dog,

13
00:00:55.679 --> 00:00:59.439
take your cats out, not really
take your cats out. Let's talk about

14
00:00:59.439 --> 00:01:03.439
that, um so so obviously with
dogs, it's really good to walk your

15
00:01:03.480 --> 00:01:08.159
dog, right for the obviously,
you know, for the exercise and everything

16
00:01:08.200 --> 00:01:12.239
else. And I always tell this
to people and tell me if I'm right

17
00:01:12.319 --> 00:01:17.799
in thinking this, because I just
remember like from a first dog many many

18
00:01:17.799 --> 00:01:22.040
many many years ago, when dogs
go out and they sniff like that is

19
00:01:22.079 --> 00:01:26.480
sort of it's mentally stimulating and it's
like they're reading the newspaper. So that

20
00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:30.640
is almost that is as good as
physical exercise, if that makes sense.

21
00:01:30.799 --> 00:01:34.959
Is that a fact with dogs?
That is? And like there there'll be

22
00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:38.400
some trainers that talk about, like
if you can paying a weight where you're

23
00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:42.000
living and whatnot, to let your
dogs kind of just follow their nose as

24
00:01:42.040 --> 00:01:45.200
there as the walk and they can
like see where they want to go,

25
00:01:45.319 --> 00:01:48.239
versus me like you have to walk
this way now in the city the whole

26
00:01:48.359 --> 00:01:52.959
herd, right both you're like outside
like a field or trail, like letting

27
00:01:52.959 --> 00:01:55.920
them kind of follow the sense where
they want to see and have their own

28
00:01:55.959 --> 00:01:59.280
little adventure right right. And it's
interesting because I live in the city,

29
00:01:59.319 --> 00:02:01.359
but I do out with my dog
because sometimes if I want to go one

30
00:02:01.400 --> 00:02:07.359
direction, but I could tell like
he he smells something, say, you

31
00:02:07.400 --> 00:02:10.360
know, on the corner of a
building and it's going to a different block,

32
00:02:10.479 --> 00:02:14.439
So I just let them do that. That's good to do, correct,

33
00:02:15.439 --> 00:02:19.199
Yep, that absolutely is, because
that's that's letting them like explore their

34
00:02:19.199 --> 00:02:22.800
world, and it's don't even use
their scenting abilities, which are much better

35
00:02:22.800 --> 00:02:25.199
than what we do. So it's
something stimulating for them to do. Right.

36
00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:29.680
So okay, so that obviously is
good for dogs to get them out

37
00:02:29.759 --> 00:02:32.280
walking. What else could listeners do
with their dogs, because I know we

38
00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:37.840
have to go into cats too,
So let's let's do dogs first. So

39
00:02:38.439 --> 00:02:42.599
dogs, depending on the where you're
living, along with walking hiking, if

40
00:02:42.599 --> 00:02:45.719
you can go into like the wooded
areas or like the mountains or what not,

41
00:02:45.919 --> 00:02:50.120
that's something different in a lot different
sense for them. For the older

42
00:02:50.159 --> 00:02:53.360
dogs or those that are having joint
problems, swimming is wonderful as well because

43
00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:58.199
it takes the weight off for their
joints allows them to use them. But

44
00:02:58.199 --> 00:03:00.080
the biggest thing you to watch if
you're doing in like a lake or a

45
00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:04.639
pond. One if you're in an
area where there's like algae in the ponds,

46
00:03:04.759 --> 00:03:07.960
that is no good because they can't
drink that water. Which you also

47
00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:12.000
want to watch like the branches or
the tree limbs that might be under the

48
00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:15.280
surface that they can get caught on
or stuck on. So you want to

49
00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:20.319
know what they're going into, right
right, Okay, what about if it's

50
00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:23.599
an older dog, like, because
I know it's still good for them to

51
00:03:23.639 --> 00:03:28.120
walk, but it's okay for them
to not walk or do as much like

52
00:03:28.199 --> 00:03:31.120
just say, your dog, it's
swimming before, is it? Like do

53
00:03:31.159 --> 00:03:36.439
you gradually introduce it to them?
Like what's best for like senior dogs?

54
00:03:37.400 --> 00:03:39.319
Yeah, so you can gradually introduce
this something. If your dog likes water,

55
00:03:39.520 --> 00:03:44.159
they absolutely hate water, just don't
push it because that's adding just additional

56
00:03:44.199 --> 00:03:47.120
stress to their life. Walking for
the older dogs is good. I usually

57
00:03:47.120 --> 00:03:51.879
tell those owners like, let your
dog dictate how far this walk is going

58
00:03:51.919 --> 00:03:54.120
to go, and when they want
to turn around, listen to them because

59
00:03:54.120 --> 00:03:59.680
they're going to be tired. And
then for them there is you can do

60
00:03:59.759 --> 00:04:02.520
like yoga and stretching for them.
Obviously it's not the same as us.

61
00:04:02.560 --> 00:04:09.439
They're not going to get up into
tree pose not that would be amazing when

62
00:04:09.599 --> 00:04:14.879
when someone does. I would love
to see the too. But you could

63
00:04:14.879 --> 00:04:17.360
do like stretching and like range of
motion, like taking their limbs and like

64
00:04:17.439 --> 00:04:20.560
stretching them out and then bending them
back. And just if you're not sure,

65
00:04:20.720 --> 00:04:24.959
just ask your vetinary, like how's
a good way to stretch my dog's

66
00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:28.759
limbs and whatnot. So that keeps
them kind of like motion going and their

67
00:04:28.839 --> 00:04:31.759
muscles you know, limber and whatnot
for them. Right, is it good

68
00:04:31.800 --> 00:04:34.720
and okay to give your dog like
or your cat too, like a little

69
00:04:34.720 --> 00:04:39.000
I always call it a massagy,
but like a little massage like say down

70
00:04:39.000 --> 00:04:42.199
their spine or their back legs,
right, because that probably feels good like

71
00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:45.240
it does to us. Yes,
yeah, as long as you're not doing

72
00:04:45.240 --> 00:04:47.480
like hard pressure, no no hot
stones or anything like that that we love

73
00:04:47.519 --> 00:04:53.319
to get right, right, but
just doing it like yep, gentle massage

74
00:04:53.399 --> 00:04:56.920
is good for them. Wow.
And the same for cats too, yes,

75
00:04:57.319 --> 00:05:00.079
yep, yeah, as long as
the cat likes being kind. There

76
00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:02.000
are some cats that just don't are
like the no touchy cats all right,

77
00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:04.680
don't do that right, So if
your cat is the one that likes to

78
00:05:04.680 --> 00:05:09.040
be touched, then then it's good
too. So what are some exercises or

79
00:05:09.079 --> 00:05:12.000
things to do? Because I know, you know you're not going to put

80
00:05:12.040 --> 00:05:15.800
a leash on your cat and walk
it around. So what's good for a

81
00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:18.879
cat um just to you know,
to keep it healthy. Some exercise or

82
00:05:18.920 --> 00:05:23.639
some different things to do. Now
that the weather's getting nicer. Yeah,

83
00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:26.959
So for them. Um, if
you have a house where you can do

84
00:05:27.000 --> 00:05:29.879
it. I do it for my
Kiddosum. I put birds feeders at different

85
00:05:29.920 --> 00:05:31.959
windows so they havenitly go around to
the different windows to see where the birds

86
00:05:32.000 --> 00:05:35.399
are. Um. And they love
that to see that at by squirrels.

87
00:05:35.399 --> 00:05:41.240
They hate the squirrel right right at
him. Oh that's fine, okay.

88
00:05:41.600 --> 00:05:44.800
Or you could do like the wand
toys are like the laser point is where

89
00:05:44.800 --> 00:05:47.800
you're interacting with them, but it
gives them something interactive to chase. Right.

90
00:05:47.959 --> 00:05:53.120
Um, they're actually going for the
toy or the laser pointer or something

91
00:05:53.160 --> 00:05:56.160
like that for them, right right, Okay, So that's good too.

92
00:05:56.240 --> 00:06:00.480
So between cats and dogs, these
are these are good tips to get out

93
00:06:00.519 --> 00:06:03.560
and to get them exercised. What
are some of the things that we should

94
00:06:03.560 --> 00:06:08.639
be careful about with the weather getting
you know, some parts of the country

95
00:06:08.680 --> 00:06:12.759
it's getting warmer, faster or whatever
with and this I guess pertains more to

96
00:06:12.920 --> 00:06:15.920
dogs than cats, since cats for
the most part, unless they're an outdoor

97
00:06:15.959 --> 00:06:19.680
cat, but yeah, they're inside. But yeah, so for inside,

98
00:06:19.800 --> 00:06:24.279
but yeah, for outdoor. What
are some tips or some things that the

99
00:06:24.319 --> 00:06:28.600
listeners should keep in mind. So
watching like the heat. So if it's

100
00:06:28.639 --> 00:06:30.519
too hot for you to go outflow
run or like a long walk, it's

101
00:06:30.560 --> 00:06:33.519
the same thing for your dog,
and especially the dogs we call them the

102
00:06:33.560 --> 00:06:38.600
break east of fox, the short
nose dogs like your pugs, your bulldogs,

103
00:06:38.720 --> 00:06:42.279
your Frenchies and whatnot, because they
can't breathe as well as everyone else.

104
00:06:42.360 --> 00:06:46.240
So if it's really hot outside or
humid, we want to limit their

105
00:06:46.360 --> 00:06:48.600
walks like the morning or the evening
and the cooler hours, and making sure

106
00:06:48.639 --> 00:06:51.480
you have a water bottle for them, just like you have a water bottle

107
00:06:51.519 --> 00:06:56.439
for you, right right, Okay, And are there certain and I'm sure

108
00:06:56.480 --> 00:07:01.199
there are, because now that things
are blooming, are they certain types of

109
00:07:01.240 --> 00:07:05.879
bushes or flowers that we should keep
the pets away from because it could be

110
00:07:05.920 --> 00:07:12.040
poisonous or just not good for them. Yeah. I mean I usually kind

111
00:07:12.040 --> 00:07:14.720
of runs to stay away from everything, but then you know, the dog

112
00:07:14.800 --> 00:07:17.279
is very curious. Yeah. The
one big one, depending on where you

113
00:07:17.319 --> 00:07:20.879
are in the country, the crocus
all and bloom where I am at,

114
00:07:20.879 --> 00:07:28.720
those are definitely poisonous for the dogs
for them. Majority about the or plans,

115
00:07:28.720 --> 00:07:30.519
So okay, if you're not sure
what it is, I would just

116
00:07:30.639 --> 00:07:34.160
keep your dogs away from them,
because especially if you can't identify it and

117
00:07:34.240 --> 00:07:39.279
something does happen, then you know, the veterinarian we're sing going, Okay,

118
00:07:39.360 --> 00:07:41.720
what do I have to do to
treat your dog when I don't know

119
00:07:41.759 --> 00:07:45.639
what's going on or what exactly he
ate? So sure best to avoid?

120
00:07:46.079 --> 00:07:47.800
Yeah, yeah, no, that
makes sense, especially like if you're doing

121
00:07:47.879 --> 00:07:50.959
your gardening. It's nice to have
your dog around, but you really should

122
00:07:51.079 --> 00:07:54.879
keep your dog away from that because
you're right, if they dig up the

123
00:07:54.920 --> 00:07:58.160
bulbs and everything, like I would
assume like any type of bulb is probably

124
00:07:58.199 --> 00:08:00.639
bad for them, right, can
be bad? Yeah, especially if they

125
00:08:00.639 --> 00:08:03.120
saw a whole could we go a
foreign body? And then um, it

126
00:08:03.160 --> 00:08:05.439
was a sad a while back.
I don't know if it still as they

127
00:08:05.439 --> 00:08:11.199
had the chocolate mulch with cocoa powder
in it. Oh my gosh. Every

128
00:08:11.279 --> 00:08:13.040
vet just went ballistic over that,
going you did what? Now? I

129
00:08:13.120 --> 00:08:16.519
know, Like I don't understand why
would why? Who came up with that?

130
00:08:16.600 --> 00:08:20.399
Obviously someone who doesn't have pets,
But I mean why because it smells

131
00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:22.439
like I don't understand. Oh,
it's smell good, I don't know,

132
00:08:22.480 --> 00:08:26.600
look good for the ground. But
then the dogs are eating and getting chocolate

133
00:08:26.600 --> 00:08:30.079
poison Texicity, and it was like
major because the more cocoa that it's in

134
00:08:30.279 --> 00:08:31.919
chocolate, the worst it is for
the dogs. So they're just like please,

135
00:08:31.960 --> 00:08:35.559
just just could we just cannot get
Yes, No, it's true,

136
00:08:35.840 --> 00:08:39.120
it's true. I remember when that
happened. I was like, oh my

137
00:08:39.159 --> 00:08:41.000
god. I mean, yeah,
it smells good, but you know what

138
00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:43.759
make hot chocolate in your house?
And that smells but you know what I

139
00:08:43.759 --> 00:08:48.799
mean, buy a candle by candle
exactly, buy a chocolate candle. Oh

140
00:08:48.840 --> 00:08:52.639
my goodness. So also, I
guess too this time of year because I'm

141
00:08:52.639 --> 00:08:56.360
trying to think of all the things
that happened now that it's springtime. Um,

142
00:08:56.840 --> 00:09:01.080
people putting fertilizer down on their lawns. Yep, yea furlizer or the

143
00:09:01.080 --> 00:09:05.120
pesticides is they have the pesticide person
coming out. Usually they steaked along,

144
00:09:05.200 --> 00:09:11.039
which is good after twenty four hours, especially with the pesticides. I don't

145
00:09:11.080 --> 00:09:13.960
it might be longer for fertilizers because
they stay in the grass longer. You're

146
00:09:15.039 --> 00:09:18.159
usually okay for your dog to walk
on the grass. You just don't want

147
00:09:18.159 --> 00:09:22.320
them eating the grass, okay.
So you know, if you see the

148
00:09:22.360 --> 00:09:24.399
steaks, you know, saying that
things have been done, because if the

149
00:09:24.440 --> 00:09:28.840
pesticide company comes out, they have
the steak and show that it was there.

150
00:09:28.840 --> 00:09:31.559
The homeowner though, can remove it
very quickly as they wanted to.

151
00:09:33.519 --> 00:09:35.320
So definitely, if you see the
steaks, keep your dog away from the

152
00:09:35.360 --> 00:09:39.679
y as precaution. But just I
say rule soun. Just assume everyone put

153
00:09:39.679 --> 00:09:43.600
fertilizer or pesticides down and just you
know, get them in the habit of

154
00:09:43.679 --> 00:09:48.440
not eating grass or picking things out
of like dirt and stuff like that so

155
00:09:48.480 --> 00:09:52.159
they're safer. Yeah, no,
that makes sense because I know sometimes I

156
00:09:52.159 --> 00:09:54.840
mean I just remember like years ago
in my mom's neighborhood, some people would

157
00:09:54.840 --> 00:10:00.240
go would have the lawn guys put
fertilizer down, but they didn't put like

158
00:10:00.399 --> 00:10:03.480
notes, you know, sometimes sometimes
they flag it, so like how do

159
00:10:03.519 --> 00:10:05.799
you know? So it became like, okay, just don't have the dog

160
00:10:05.840 --> 00:10:09.559
walk on that grass because I don't
know, and kind of assume that you

161
00:10:09.600 --> 00:10:13.000
know, oh it's a lawn and
all the lawn guys are back out doing

162
00:10:13.039 --> 00:10:20.879
their jobs, so you know,
it's like yeah, yeah, and especially

163
00:10:20.919 --> 00:10:22.639
I guess too, it's bad right
if the pets, if the dogs get

164
00:10:22.679 --> 00:10:26.279
it on their paws and they go
home and they lick their paws. That's

165
00:10:26.320 --> 00:10:28.960
bad too, yep, yeah,
yeah. And if you're not sure,

166
00:10:28.960 --> 00:10:31.320
if you think you're a dog might
have stepped in something you're not sure of

167
00:10:31.399 --> 00:10:35.000
them, just doing a quick footwash
would just plain water should be all you

168
00:10:35.039 --> 00:10:37.440
need to do when you get inside. Isn't just to get that off of

169
00:10:37.519 --> 00:10:39.639
him? Oh that's good. Okay, No, that's good. That's a

170
00:10:39.639 --> 00:10:43.519
good little nugget of advice. So
this is a silly question, and I

171
00:10:43.519 --> 00:10:46.120
mean, I'm assuming that it is
correct, but just like because they're talking

172
00:10:46.120 --> 00:10:50.919
about how pollen is so bad because
we had such a pretty much of a

173
00:10:50.960 --> 00:10:56.360
mild winter throughout the country. Um
so everybody is sneezing and coughing and all

174
00:10:56.399 --> 00:11:01.039
allergies our pets get are affected the
same way. Correct, Dogs and cats

175
00:11:01.200 --> 00:11:05.480
are yet affected by pop. Yeah. Yeah, they don't sneeze and whatnot

176
00:11:05.480 --> 00:11:07.960
like we do, or get the
rain noses, but they get itchy and

177
00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:11.320
they can get like skin infections and
ear infections. This is the time of

178
00:11:11.320 --> 00:11:15.200
ear. I double up on like
my applicle, which is the prescription allergy

179
00:11:15.279 --> 00:11:18.840
medication and whatnot, because I know
my allergy kids are about to hit my

180
00:11:18.879 --> 00:11:22.200
door and want their medicine. So
I do see an uptick every springtime because

181
00:11:22.200 --> 00:11:26.279
they do. They have the allergies
to the pollen and the grasses and the

182
00:11:26.320 --> 00:11:31.519
trees just like we do. So
if it's a high pollen day, similar

183
00:11:31.559 --> 00:11:33.480
to the foot bath, you know, you could just take like a wet

184
00:11:33.480 --> 00:11:35.240
paper towel and just like wipe your
dogs flow down, like just wipe his

185
00:11:35.360 --> 00:11:39.440
whole body down to get that additional
pollen off of his coat. So that

186
00:11:39.480 --> 00:11:43.279
way he's not it's not in contact
with them longer than it needs to be.

187
00:11:43.519 --> 00:11:46.960
Oh, that's a good idea.
And I guess maybe wash the dogs

188
00:11:48.000 --> 00:11:52.960
beds maybe a little bit more often. Yeah, especially if you have your

189
00:11:52.960 --> 00:11:56.279
windows open. Try to keep like
their beds aways from the windows and things

190
00:11:56.320 --> 00:11:58.480
like that as they lie near the
window or like my cat slipt away in

191
00:11:58.519 --> 00:12:03.840
the windows kind of out of luck. Right, They're not going to change,

192
00:12:03.159 --> 00:12:05.759
No, it's true, So you
just have to be like more aware

193
00:12:05.799 --> 00:12:09.720
of it and stuff. I guess, um, yeah, And not every

194
00:12:09.720 --> 00:12:11.960
dog or cat reacts to pollend.
So if your dog's not showing any signs,

195
00:12:13.000 --> 00:12:15.840
your cat's not showing any signs you're
good. They're just like not every

196
00:12:15.919 --> 00:12:18.080
human reacts to pollen the same way, right, But but it's so you

197
00:12:18.120 --> 00:12:22.679
said, the dogs, they don't
they won't be sneezing like we do.

198
00:12:22.960 --> 00:12:24.919
They usually, yeah, they usually
don't sneeze. They get itchy, so

199
00:12:24.960 --> 00:12:28.679
you'll see them like licking their paws
or scratching accessively, or like rubbing up

200
00:12:28.720 --> 00:12:33.120
against like the sofa or you or
the carpet um, but less the sneezy

201
00:12:33.240 --> 00:12:37.200
for them. Wow, Okay,
And so I guess, and I guess

202
00:12:37.200 --> 00:12:39.159
this will be true as it gets
warmer. It might even be better to

203
00:12:39.240 --> 00:12:43.480
just keep the windows closed and put
acon, I guess, instead of the

204
00:12:43.480 --> 00:12:45.879
fresh air. I I don't know. You know it's like half of one,

205
00:12:46.080 --> 00:12:48.120
you know, six of one,
half a dozen of another, because

206
00:12:48.120 --> 00:12:50.320
you're like, oh, fresh air, it's so healthy, But maybe it's

207
00:12:50.360 --> 00:12:54.080
not. Yeah, it's like it's
an end your dog. Like I do

208
00:12:54.320 --> 00:12:58.440
spring allergies myself too, so like
I'm on my allergy meds right now.

209
00:12:58.559 --> 00:13:01.879
So if your dog doesn't allergies but
it's control on allergy medication, then you

210
00:13:01.879 --> 00:13:05.159
can leave them open. Orchard does
not affect it at all. If your

211
00:13:05.200 --> 00:13:09.519
dogs like severely affected and has trouble
even with allergy medicines on board, then

212
00:13:09.519 --> 00:13:13.080
I would consider that like keeping the
windows closed your acods. That way the

213
00:13:13.120 --> 00:13:16.440
filtration is there for them. Oh
okay, oh that's good. That's all.

214
00:13:16.519 --> 00:13:20.879
These are all very good little pieces
of advice. So one last piece,

215
00:13:20.960 --> 00:13:24.720
because I know we touched on it
earlier when you said about you know,

216
00:13:26.000 --> 00:13:30.559
let the dog follow its pattern,
like where it wants to go to

217
00:13:30.679 --> 00:13:33.720
walk and sniff and all that.
Um, what if it's somebody? And

218
00:13:33.759 --> 00:13:35.960
this always makes me crazy, but
I know there are people who don't take

219
00:13:35.960 --> 00:13:39.159
their dogs out on walks. They
just let them go in the yard and

220
00:13:39.240 --> 00:13:43.000
go to the bathroom and come back
in and just say they're listening to this

221
00:13:43.080 --> 00:13:46.279
and go, okay, it's a
New Years spring. Let's take Fido out

222
00:13:46.360 --> 00:13:50.679
for a walk, even though he
hasn't really walked so much? Is there

223
00:13:52.799 --> 00:13:56.600
like not that there's a limit,
but how much like how how much should

224
00:13:56.600 --> 00:14:01.879
the person start a dog who hasn't
had any and whatever the ages? I

225
00:14:01.919 --> 00:14:03.919
mean obviously not a puppy, but
if it's like a young adult or a

226
00:14:03.960 --> 00:14:09.639
senior, how how long first for
lay ten minutes and then increase it or

227
00:14:09.639 --> 00:14:13.720
is there a set time. Yeah, so I don't only have set tens.

228
00:14:13.720 --> 00:14:16.440
It turns on your dog because like
I don't one of those people.

229
00:14:16.440 --> 00:14:18.600
I don't walk my dogs a lot, but I have a huge backyard and

230
00:14:18.639 --> 00:14:22.080
like you run them in it.
They have an agility course out there,

231
00:14:22.120 --> 00:14:26.360
so they're many. Yeah, they
rub a lot. So like my dogs

232
00:14:26.360 --> 00:14:28.519
I could take out on a walk
and they could probably do a fair amount

233
00:14:28.679 --> 00:14:33.679
without tiring. Yeah, so one
of us like watching your dog, is

234
00:14:33.720 --> 00:14:35.879
it hot out and stuff like that? Watching dogs those sides like if they

235
00:14:35.919 --> 00:14:41.120
go two blocks and they're like,
I'm done right, then let's head back

236
00:14:41.159 --> 00:14:43.639
to the house because and ease into
things like I say, like maybe go

237
00:14:43.679 --> 00:14:48.039
like ten fifteen minutes, see how
they're doing. Just like we wouldn't go

238
00:14:48.200 --> 00:14:50.399
right out and run a marathon.
That's crazy, right, So same for

239
00:14:50.559 --> 00:14:54.159
them. So you know, go
a few blocks, go like ten minutes.

240
00:14:54.320 --> 00:14:58.759
If your dog's like, hey,
I'm still gearing to go, keep

241
00:14:58.799 --> 00:15:03.399
on going. If your dog's like
blowing down looking at you like really really

242
00:15:03.440 --> 00:15:05.440
we're going, then we turn around. Then you turn around, right,

243
00:15:05.440 --> 00:15:09.480
And so yeah, just knowing,
I mean it's like for anything else,

244
00:15:09.519 --> 00:15:11.279
just watch your animal and they will
give you the sign like right, because

245
00:15:11.279 --> 00:15:16.200
if they're panting a lot, it's
like I'm done yeah. Or they started

246
00:15:16.279 --> 00:15:20.360
really fast and within five minutes they're
like like going really slow and dragging their

247
00:15:20.399 --> 00:15:22.399
seats. They're done right exactly.
Or they start to turn around to go

248
00:15:22.440 --> 00:15:26.279
back towards where you live. Then
you're like, okay, looking back,

249
00:15:26.360 --> 00:15:28.840
like it's back there, it's back
there, right, why aren't we going

250
00:15:28.039 --> 00:15:33.759
that way? So well, I
really appreciate all your time and all your

251
00:15:33.799 --> 00:15:37.639
tips. These are great, great
tips. Um uh so, Doctor Amber
