My dog has excessive skin around his neck area. My vet says it's a little too much and I should exercise him to tighten it. What's a simple way to tighten it? I feed him Solid Gold, so I don't think his food is a problem. I walk him for about 1-2 hours every other day and always on the weekends. When we play, we play tug-o-war and I let him hang about 2-3 inches off the ground. It just seems like it'd work out his neck. Any other suggestions?
Best way to tighten skin on dog's neck?
Loose skin isn't really going to tighten up thru exercise, unless you are building muscle. So you do muscle building exercises like climbing, swimming, running etc.

Reply:Is he otherwise overweight? If so if he is over 6 yrs old feed him something like dry Science Diet Adult Light %26amp; a small amt of wet food.
Reply:I'm not sure why your vet is concerned with excess skin, as long as it's kept clean and dry. What does he want you to do, have a little cosmetic surgery for your pooch??
Just keep on playing and exercising with your pup, and he'll be fine.
