The frequency of walks for a dog depends on their age, size, energy level, and health conditions. Here are some general guidelines: 1. Puppies: Puppies need to go outside frequently, especially after eating or drinking, and to relieve themselves. You may need to take a puppy out every hour or two, especially if they're under six months old. 2. Adult Dogs: Adult dogs should be walked at least once a day, but more frequent walks can be beneficial depending on their energy level and size. A good rule of thumb is to provide one walk per 10 pounds of body weight each day. So, a 50-pound dog should get five walks per day, while a 10-pound dog only needs one. 3. Senior Dogs: Older dogs may need fewer walks due to decreased energy levels and potential health issues, but they still need regular exercise to maintain mobility and overall health. A daily short walk is usually sufficient for most senior dogs. 4. Active Dogs: High-energy breeds or dogs that need additional exercise can benefit from multiple walks per day or a combination of walks and playtime in the yard or at a dog park. Consult with your veterinarian to determine the right amount of exercise for your pet. 5. Medical Conditions: Dogs with certain medical conditions may require adjusted walking schedules. Consult your veterinarian for specific recommendations.
