Appreciate the question — let's unpack this. It’s great that you’re thinking about your dog’s exercise needs! Regular exercise is crucial for maintaining your dog's physical and mental well-being. The amount and type of exercise your dog needs can depend on their age, breed, weight, and general health. For instance, high-energy breeds like Border Collies often require more exercise compared to breeds like Bulldogs, which prefer more relaxed activity levels.
Dogs naturally love to play, and engaging in games such as fetch or tug-of-war can be a great way to keep them active. Daily walks are also essential, allowing for both physical exercise and mental stimulation as they explore different scents in the neighborhood.
However, it's important to be mindful not to over-exercise, especially in very young, old, or unhealthy dogs. Signs that your dog might be getting too much exercise include limping, excessive panting, lethargy, or any changes in their appetite. If you notice any of these signs, it’s a good idea to let them rest and consider adjusting their exercise routine.
If you’re unsure about how much exercise your dog needs or you're planning to try a new activity, it might be helpful to have a video consult with a vet to tailor an exercise plan specific to your furry friend’s needs.

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
