Your dog loves to explore both in and around your home, but this is even better when you bring her out of the house for a more official walk. How long should these be?

Your dog’s walks will be a variable in your life, and you will need to reevaluate her needs and capabilities on a daily basis. There will be a general baseline for exercise your pet needs each day based on her age, breed, and health, but there are also other factors to look at. Take the time to consider her how much physical activity she has already gotten, what you can expect from the weather for that day, and how intense the route you plan on taking is as well, since these will impact what your pet can handle for time out and about as well. For additional information, please contact your local Happy Valley, OR veterinarian.
