Maximizing the Benefits of Walking for You and Your Dog.
TL;DR Summary
Veterinarians suggest that the length of a dog's walk depends on its breed, size, age, and environmental conditions. Small-breed dogs should have about 20 minutes of exercise at a time, while larger breeds can handle 30-to-60-minute walks. Owners should consider any previous medical concerns their dog may have suffered from and build up to the desired result. If a dog has walked too much, providing food, water, and shelter can help, and carrying the dog in a backpack or using a stroller might be necessary.
