If you are a regular runner, you know it can be a great cardio exercise. It can also be great exercise for your dog. Those with smaller dogs may also be wondering if it’s a good idea to take your little dog on a run with you. Can you? Should you? Well, yes and no. Small dogs can go for runs just as well as big dogs can but there are a few factors you should keep in mind~

Ever wondered why your little dog shakes? Our little dog Ponyo shakes all the time. When we first saw him shaking our first reaction was to give him a big cuddle, either warming him up or comforting him as we thought something had scared him. That wasn’t necessarily the case. Later, he would shake every time he was about to be fed~

You know if you eat too much junk food, your stomach is going to hurt. Most likely this is from bloat, a rapid build-up of gas in your digestive system. It’s really uncomfortable and painful and something you probably want to avoid. Even though it is a painful discomfort to humans, it normally will go away on its own with time. This isn’t true for small dogs~

Dogs are our best friends. They love us unconditionally so if they become ill most dog owners would do whatever they could to help them feel better. When a small dog has a seizure it can be scary for both the dog and owner but as frightening as it can be, it’s a common occurrence in dogs and treatment is available~

There are a wide variety of reasons as to why a little dog has bad breath. These reasons vary wildly from oral hygiene to more serious harmful reasons like disease. Possibly even resulting in a visit to the vet to resolve your little dog’s breath problem. Poor oral hygiene left untreated could lead into something far more complicated and expensive like periodontal disease~
