Send us a textDiscover how an everyday activity like dog walking could be trickier than it seems, especially for seniors, as we delve into a riveting conversation with Dr. Rodrigo Rosa. This episode casts a spotlight on the rise of leash-related injuries and how they disproportionately affect women over 65. Uncover the nuances behind these statistics, including the alarming rate of serious injuries such as traumatic brain injuries. Rodrigo's insights challenge us to consider the gaps in safety data - from dog breeds to leash types - and the importance of preventative strategies tailored to vulnerable demographics.Turning the leash on the conversation, Rodrigo's revelations extend beyond the data, fostering a broader dialogue about the intersection of human and canine health within our communities. Despite the scare of injuries, dog walking remains a low-risk, high-reward activity for most, though surprisingly underutilized by dog owners.
