The Right Exercise for Every Dog: It’s All About Age
Just like people, dogs have different exercise needs. When it comes to keeping your pup healthy and happy, a “one-size-fits-all” approach doesn’t work. The right amount and type of activity depend on your dog’s age, health, and breed. In this post, we’ll break down exercise by age.
(And as always, talk to your vet before starting any new fitness plan!)
Puppy Power
These little bundles of energy run around like furry tornadoes, but their exercise should be short and sweet. Their growing bodies and bones need protection from overexertion. Focus on:
These little bundles of energy run around like furry tornadoes, but their exercise should be short and sweet. Their growing bodies and bones need protection from overexertion. Focus on:
- Daily, short play sessions and walks: Aim for a half-hour of focused activity in the morning and evening.
- Fundamental training: Helps with physical and mental development.
- Lots of rest: Naps are a puppy’s best friend!
Adult Action
Regular, daily exercise is a non-negotiable for adult dogs. Without it, they can become overweight, bored, and potentially destructive. A properly exercised dog is a happy, well-behaved dog.
- Find their happy place: Daily walks, park visits, and playtime are essential for their physical and mental health.
- Reinforce good behavior: Use walks and play as a way to reinforce training, strengthening your bond.
- Need a hand?: If your schedule is too busy, our professional dog walkers are here to help your best friend stay active and engaged. www.loveandkissespetsitting.net
Senior Strolls

- Gentle walks: Maintain mobility and mental stimulation with leisurely, low-impact walks.
- Keep it calm: For frail or infirm seniors, gentle grooming, quiet playtime, and loving attention are perfectly acceptable forms of activity.
- Monitor health: Keep an eye on their weight and fitness level to ensure they stay comfortable.
