Exercise is important for all dogs, including giant breeds.  However, it’s important to minimize impact on big dogs’ joints, limiting jumping up and down, etc.  Check out our Pet Step to help get your dog on and off high places.  Take your dog on leash for a nice long walk or let him swim in a pool, while you watch or join in, after you’ve ensured he knows how to get out.  Big dogs can also have a tendency to overheat, so monitor your pal closely and stop once he’s tired or hot.  Check with your vet for more info and safe exercise alternatives for your lifelong buddy.
