Anybody have any input on running with your dog and how much is too much or how hot temperature wise is too hot to run? Or if there's any concerns on their joints long term?
We've worked up to a loop approx 2.9 miles that we do almost every evening...he absolutely loves running. Reading his body language he doesn't seem like he's getting pushed too hard...he's happy, tail is straight up not lowered...and we get home he still usually wants to play fetch in the back yard for a while.
But it still worries me especially as the temps start rising and it's hard to find anything really concrete online.
I think over 80 degrees maybe I wouldn't push him as hard? Sound reasonable? We typically go about 6-7 pm anyway as the sun isn't as strong and sometimes it starts cooling a little. And it's not like he's an overweight out of shape dog he's about as in shape as a dog can be we keep him very active or he goes a little crazy
