A Pup’s Day Out at Sea
A dog enjoys a breezy boat ride, with the wind ruffling its fur as it faces the sun, epitomizing the joy many dogs find at the beach. Dogs often love the beach because it’s a sensory playground that offers them vast spaces to run, intriguing smells to explore, and water to splash in. The sand provides a different texture under their paws, and the opportunity to dig is nearly irresistible.
It is also possible to teach them to surf and many coastal communities host dog-surfing competitions. The combination of sunshine, fresh air, and physical activity that beaches provide significantly uplift a dog’s mood and health.
