With spring in the air, our dogs are ready to get outside (sans the snow booties). A perfect warm-weather exercise? Swimming. Depending on your location it may be slightly too early to dip your toes in the water. But swimming is a fun form of fitness for both you and your dog. Plus, it’s gentle on the joints, making it a perfect choice for older pups.

Tip: Saltwater can be drying on a dog’s skin. You can keep an eye out for skin issues, along with other health data, in our Whistle app. And right now, you’ll get 30% off Whistle FIT devices when you buy a one-year plan.
