Puppy jumped high fence, no yelp, still playing. Is he injured?

Updated on September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Male | unneutered | 7 months and 3 days old

My 7 month old puppy just jumped the fence, I'd say it's a bit over a metre high, he didn't yelp or anything and carried on running and playing. Will he be okay?

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!

He may show soreness or limping once he calms down and the adrenaline wears off. It is a good sign that he continued to run! Likely there isn't any broken bones!

If he starts to limo rest him and take him to your Vet if it doesn't improve in a few days.

Good luck and have a good day!
