Prepare for unexpected vet bills
Introduction
It is raining and has been raining for days. You and your pup are beginning to go a little stir crazy and you need something to do! With the weather forecast not looking too good, you need to come up with fresh activities right away. So what is there to do in Alaska in the rain with a dog? Plenty of things! Ignore that rain rapping on your window and get ready to have some fun with your pup.
Indoor Dog Park
While you may be very familiar with outdoor dog parks in Alaska, have you ever been to an indoor dog park? Well, if you are a fan of the outside version, then this is something you definitely need to check out! Indoor dog parks are ideal as they are year round and not dependent on the weather. So when a storm cluster is looming over Alaska, you won't care because you'll be inside with your dog, having fun running around with other pups just as you would if the sun was shining. Head out to your car and get ready for some indoor fun specially made for your dog.
K9 Aquatics
All of the rain outside may have you thinking about swimming. While we don't recommend you go swim in the puddles of the streets, there are places you can go swimming with your dog that are nicely located inside. An indoor swimming pool for dogs - this must be a dream! This dream is actually a reality and there are plenty of indoor doggy pools in Alaska that you can visit no matter what the weather. Swimming is also great exercise for all types of dogs. Senior dogs benefit by exercising with low impact on their joints and young pups will just love being able to go, go, go!Â
Fountain Fun
When the rain is just coming down in buckets, you still need to take your dog out a few times during the day to go to the bathroom. You are going to get wet, your dog will be wet and maybe you won't mind. Maybe, you want to get even wetter! If you have a dog who doesn't mind the rain, then this is the activity for you. You and your water-loving pup are about to have a blast despite the rain. Bring along some towels and maybe even a change of clothes for you as this game is going to leave you soaked.Â
