Exercise for different ages dogs

Puppies and older dogs can't be calculated by size. An adult dog needs 30 minutes to 2 hours of exercise per day. puppies before the age of 1 year are not fully skeletal. High-intensity exercise will only harm them. So a puppy can be allowed to explore freely. At this point, we can equip him with a light weight small dog gps tracker. Puppies have not yet developed a sense of "home". It is easy to lose it when it is outdoors. Having a small dog gps tracker will allow you to track its location in real time. It can avoid many dangers. Puppies can usually be fed dog food with high calcium content, which can strengthen the bones.

 

For older dogs, the walking posture may become stiff due to joint problems. But exercise is not to be missed. Because without exercise, the dog's joints are more likely to break down. But the time of exercise needs to be reduced by 20-30%. Also note: Senior dogs also need calcium supplements and can be fed pet calcium tablets or calcium powder.

 

Exercise for different health conditions dogs

A dog in poor health does not need exercise. At this point, it needs a veterinarian.

 

In general, dogs in relatively good health can receive 20-30 minutes of dog walking. Strong dogs in good health can have 1 to 2 hours of exercise, taking care to do it in stages. At the same time, dogs should be prepared with equipment when exercising outdoors. For example, dog leash, small dog tracker and dog water bottle. Exercise is to maintain the dog's health and improve the dog's physical fitness. But if the exercise is too much, the same will be harmful to the dog's body. So the owner must control the amount of dog exercise.
