Is Your Dog In “Spring Training”? Bo Rog, DVM To Be Guest Speaker At Friends Of The Lakewood Dog Park Public Event

Recently, Mother Nature gave us a glimpse of the gorgeous weather that’s just around the corner. It gave everyone spring fever, and dogs with their owners filled Lakewood Dog Park. 

Dr. Rog, of Lakewood Animal Hospital asks, “Is your dog in ‘Spring Training’?” 

Just as the the “boys of summer” are warming up for the season ahead, so must dog owners prep pooches for warm weather.

FREE and OPEN TO THE PUBLIC, Friends of the Lakewood Dog Park will host Dr. Rog on Sunday, April 22 at 6 p.m. at the Lakewood Public Library Auditorium, 15425 Detroit Avenue, Lakewood, Ohio 44107. Please arrive early for best seating.

Before your dog takes to the field or runs from home to Lakewood Dog Park this spring, find out how to get your pooch player ready to romp. Dr. Rog will offer tips to keep the canines healthy and safe this season. 

When is it too early for “pee wee” puppies to play with other dogs? Why are vaccines, proper ID, and leashes important “equipment”? Is “physical conditioning” a good idea to get in shape for increased exercise? Why are hound hydration and nutrition important? What about summer grooming?

Dr. Rog will coach dog owners so that you’re ready to enjoy a game or two and have fun being outdoors with you dog this summer.
