How Much Exercise Does Your Dog Need?
Calculate daily exercise requirements by breed, age, and energy level. Walk duration, intensity, and activity suggestions.
By Energy
Low (Pug, Shih Tzu): 20-30 min। Medium (Labrador, GSD): 45-60। High (Indie, Beagle): 60-90। Indian summer: walk early morning (6-7 AM) and evening (6-7 PM) — NEVER midday (paw burns on hot roads!)।
Indian Climate
Summer above 35°C: reduce outdoor exercise 50%। Check road with your hand — if too hot for you, too hot for paws। Indoor play and mental stimulation on extreme heat days।
Swimming is the best exercise for senior dogs and dogs with joint issues. It provides full-body exercise with zero impact on joints. Many veterinary rehabilitation centers offer hydrotherapy pools. Even a kiddie pool in the yard provides beneficial low-impact exercise for water-loving breeds.
