Adult Dog Survival Guide

Whether your dog has gone from a puppy to an adult or you have recently adopted an adult dog this survival guide is for you! 

Let’s be honest, having a puppy was a lot of work and seemed to take forever! 

I am excited for my dog, Duke, to reach the adult dog stage, however having an adult dog can also have some learning curves.  

Adult Dog Survival Guide

This guide is going to include entertaining your adult dog with toys, taking into consideration dog food for adult dogs, and keeping your dog active and healthy with some great dog-friendly activities.

Dog Toys

This may seem like a no brainer, but you’re going to need dog toys!   Dog toys are important because you want your dog to be entertained and happy.  You also what your dog to chew toys instead of your favorite pair of shoes!

My dog loves anything squeaky.  His philosophy is the squeakier the better (this is based off the fact that he will walk around squeaking his toy none stop).  I recommend you visit your local Target and see which toy is the squeakiest or has the most squeakers!
