Hello!!

How are we preventing joint issues in our dogs while maintaining their activity level?

I have a 9 month old Mal mix who is quite active and our vet pretty much said don’t worry about joint issues from high impact exercise because it would be more detrimental for her to have too little exercise. So I’m wondering if other Mal people follow this advice as well? My girl especially loves jumping, hurdling, and leaping after toys and now I’m getting a bit concerned for her joints after hearing some differing opinions so I’m just looking to hear what Mal owners do to protect joints while dealing with high energy working dogs.

Thank you!
