A dog needs a daily workout that keeps them functioning at top capacity, both physically and mentally. THE LAGUARD K9 FITNESS VEST CAN BE USED YEAR-ROUND AND AS A PART OF YOUR DOG’S DAILY REGIMEN. Regular exercise will help your dog lose weight as well as keep him fitter, healthier, and happier.
Veterinarians Recommend:- Using the vest for 15 to 30 minutes twice a day when working out.
- Not exceeding more than 1/3 of your dog’s weight when applying weights.
- When using the vest for a calming device, use it for up to four hours at a time. Check for irritation points every 3-4 hours.
Not Recommended:
- Using the vest as a flotation device.
- Using the vest in extreme heat.
- Operating the vest without fastening buckles.
- Leaving the vest on your dog more than 4 hours in any given day supervised or unsupervised.
- Allowing your dog to exercise in the vest unsupervised.
Cautions:
An exercise program should begin with a visit to the veterinarian to assess general health and to set up an exercise program that will not cause muscle strain or pain. Be sure to start slowly; increase the frequency and intensity of activities with care. While exercise is vital in any program diving into a vigorous exercise program can tax underused muscles and place undue stress on the heart and lungs.
