Make sure both you and your dog are in shape before undertaking any vigorous activities since excessive exercise in occasional bursts can lead to serious injuries for both of you. <p><li>Always bring a collapsible dog bowl and a supply of drinking water. <br> <br><li>If you take your dog running, keep an eye out for signs of heat exhaustion, such as excessive panting, salivation, vomiting or staggering. Sometimes a dog will simply sit down and refuse to go any farther. <br> <br><li>Watch the weather. Taking your dog out for a workout on a hot or humid day could lead to heat stroke. <br> <br><li>If your dog gets severely overheated, immediately carry it to a shady spot, allow it to drink small amounts of water and hose it down if possible. Consult a veterinarian. <br> <br><li>Periodically check your dog&#146;s feet for cuts, thorns or cracked pads. Some surfaces, such as hot pavement, sharp gravel or ice, can cause painful damage to your dog&#146;s paws.
