truck/vehicile is no.1 area a dog gets injured according to vet info i read..overweight dog jumping out of of truck also is another reason..
women like to get their dogs nice and fat,they OVERFEED them until they look like seal..that is a good reason for hip/joint problems..my sister overffeds her dogs until they almost blow-up..they get cancer,hip/joint problems from that..now she is trying to make my dog fat, i catch her throwing 3 hotdogs at my dog,then i yell and she gets mad..
WEIGHT is main reason for health/injury problems followed by genes..
i lift my dog to ground from my truck but my dog got injured falling thru a brush pile he walked on..he limped for 3 days BUT ran around fine..
hard running dogs get injured..
nice looking dog you have also..
Thanks!
I agree. Jumping in and out of the truck is a spot where a dog can get injured. But I've seen more injuries occur in the field than on the tail gate of a truck.Fat dogs do get injured more in the field and truck. My dog could get in a body building contest right now. He is lean and mean! No weight problems. My brother in law has his mom and dad and they both came from good genes. Especially in the joint department. Thats one thing we both looked at when he was picking them out.
