Proper hunting dog conditioning is a year ‘round pursuit
Maintaining peak physical condition in our hunting dogs is a year-round pursuit, not an activity confined to the week before opening day. Hunting dogs are similar to human athletes in that their bodies require training and conditioning to constantly perform at the highest level.
Have a vet to add to the list of trusted sporting dog veterinarians? We’d love your recommendation. Crowdsourcing and sharing your feedback is the only way this project works. Help us promote those vets who have the mindset and skillset our community needs for our canine athletes.
