How long should a dog walk last?

If we are talking about a healthy pet, which is a representative of a medium or large breed, then the walk should last at least 40 minutes. But 1 hour is better.

If we are talking about a small breed dog, an elderly animal or a four-legged friend who, due to health problems, cannot withstand serious physical activity, then the duration of the walk should be 20 minutes.

A puppy that is less than four months old should be walked for about 5 minutes.

And don't forget that there is a maximum allowable interval between walks.
