| How much exercise is good?
Hi all,
My girl's 4 months old and weighs 35 pounds. My question is how much should I walk her a day (not including going outside for potty) and for how long? Someone had mentioned 5 minutes for every 1 month old, so in my pups case 20 minutes. Not sure how many times a day goes with this rule of thumb.
Currently, I'm walking her once a week for 20-30 minutes. Other walks are just to potty, so only for a few minutes.
I know that Hip problems are common in large breed dogs (this is my first large breed) so I'm not really sure how much to exercise her. I don't want to over or under do it.
Any advice would be very appreciated!
Much thanks! |
