Question

What should i do if i feel like my dog is often hurts himself (accidents) such as falling over while playing sometimes hits himself while running etc. Pet's info: Dog | Toy Poodle | Male

Some dogs are more accident prone and this sounds like thats the case with Max. Your main things would be to make sure the environment is as safe as you can make it: ie...don't let Max play by a set of stairs... You can't control how he moves but if he seems sore after he falls, gently massage the area as this will help comfort him. You may also talk to his vet about having dog friendly pain medications on hand. I hope this helps!
