Visiting public parks is a wonderful way to provide your dog with essential physical exercise and mental enrichment. However, before letting your dog interact in shared spaces, ensure their core vaccinations and parasite preventatives are fully up to date. Always monitor your pet closely for signs of fatigue or overheating, especially during warmer months.
