Each dogs’ needs are unique and the proper amount of exercise depends on your dog’s breed and age. Puppies need more exercise than adult dogs, and it’s best for them to have multiple playtimes or walks throughout the day. For adult dogs, high energy breeds need much more exercise and typically smaller dogs need less exercise, however the average amount of movement they need per day is 30 minutes to 2 hours. If your dog is older, they might not need as much exercise as they used to. For senior dogs, it’s best to discuss their specific needs with a veterinarian.
