How much should I walk my dog?
Most adult dogs need 30 minutes to 2 hours daily, scaling with size and energy. Use the estimate above as a starting point and adjust to your dog.
Can I over-walk my dog?
Yes — especially puppies, seniors, and flat-faced breeds. Watch for limping, lagging, or overheating and build distance gradually.
Does breed matter more than size?
Energy level (often breed-driven) matters as much as size. A small terrier may need more than a large, mellow breed.
Is this medical advice?
No — it’s general guidance. Ask your vet about the right activity for your dog’s age and health.
