Every dog's daily schedule should include walking to ensure their physical and mental well-being. Typically, dogs require a minimum of one to two walks per day, unless advised otherwise by your veterinarian. If your dog has been diagnosed with arthritis, it’s important to keep them moving regularly throughout the day to prevent their joints seizing up but the exercise they do should be low impact. Walking and gentle running is fine, but it’s best to avoid chasing, jumping, and skidding. It’s also sensible to avoid steep slopes, as they put extra pressure on the joints. However, there is no specific information about the exercise for a 13-year-old dog. Fitness is important that your dog stays fit enough to enjoy their walks. If you think your dog is struggling, speak to your vet about how you can improve their diet and exercise routine.

The amount of exercise a dog needs ultimately depends on the dog. Puppies and senior dogs have different exercise needs. But for dogs the world over, a good walk, or walks, every day can help to keep your dog mentally and physically healthy and will reduce unwanted behaviours based on anxiety and boredom. To find out specifically how much exercise your individual dog should have per day, consult your vet. There are many factors not considered in this calculator that may affect how much exercise your dog needs such as breed, metabolism, spayed / neutered status, personality, orthopedic status and other medical conditions.
