You do not need a new purchase to give your dog a pleasant day. Choose activities that suit its comfort and interests.
- Gentle care. Keep grooming comfortable and suited to your dog’s coat and needs.
- A suitable reward. Choose food your dog can safely eat and include it in daily intake. “Natural” does not establish that a chew is safe.
- Play. Reuse a favorite undamaged toy, with supervision.
- A comfortable resting place. Clean existing bedding or choose an appropriate replacement when needed. A bed is not a treatment for unexplained joint pain.
- A manageable outing. Take a comfortable walk or play indoors when weather or footing makes an outing unsuitable. Boots do not guarantee traction on ice.
