Any dog requires proper care, an integral part of which is walks in the fresh air.

We will help those dog owners who cannot understand how much time their pet should spend walking.

First of all, it is worth remembering: not every dog needs frequent walks.

To determine the optimal frequency of walking and its duration, it is worth considering several aspects at once, including the breed of your pet, its age, health, as well as the weather and time of year.

According to experts, if the sun is shining outside and the dog feels great, it is worth going outside at least twice a day.

Moreover, the duration of one walk should not be less than 40 minutes.

However, it would be more correct to note that this indicator is highly individual.

To determine how long to walk your dog, you should carefully monitor the animal, its mood, habits and needs.

There are dogs that will happily run and frolic for two whole hours, while others will show with their whole appearance that they want to go home after just 20 minutes.
