Almost 53% of dogs in the United States are overweight or obese, according to surveys conducted by the Association for Pet Obesity Prevention. Approximately 25% of overweight dogs develop serious joint complications. And extra weight places extra demands on virtually all organs of the body. This leads to heart disease and increased blood pressure, difficulty breathing, decreased stamina, heart intolerance, decreased liver function, increased surgical and anesthetic risk, reproductive issues, digestive problems, decreased immune function, skin/fur coat problems, increased risk of cancer, and a decreased quality and length of life. But this isn't a guilt trip. We get it, life happens. The HDP Agility Training Dog Tunnel from Houseables is a great tool for sharpening your beloved dog's obedience, quickness, and dexterity. Modeled after tunnels found in obstacle courses at sanctioned dog events, our tunnel is regulation size (AKC and NADAC compliant) to serve as a nice starter tunnel for your home.
