Exercise Idea: Fetch

Wherever you take your pet for some outside fun, they always love a good game of fetch. This helps their natural instinct to hunt and retrieve, and they look forward to the reward of returning to a happy over and over. While you are vacationing, don’t forget to bring your pet’s toys along for entertainment. If you forget, a piece of drift wood may work fine in a pinch. You may want to look for soft toys that can be used in the water so as to make it more fun for your pet. This is a great way to cool off in the heat. Remember, carry fresh water to the beach so they can hydrate themselves; salt water can make them sick.

For those of you with pets needing a little more extra exercise, the City of Gulf Shores offers a Dog Park located at 308 Clubhouse Drive. Check out www.gulfshoresal.gov/parksandrec for directions and times.
