The amount of exercise a dog needs depends on various factors, such as their breed, age, size, and individual energy level. Generally, most dogs benefit from at least 30 minutes to 2 hours of exercise daily. However, high-energy breeds or young dogs may require more physical activity to stay mentally and physically stimulated.
Regular exercise not only helps maintain a healthy weight but also promotes good cardiovascular health, reduces behavioural issues related to boredom, and strengthens the bond between you and your dog. Engaging in activities like daily walks, playtime, fetch, or running in a safely enclosed area can meet your dog’s exercise needs.
