For a 10-week-old Cane Corso puppy, it is essential to provide a balanced amount of exercise to promote healthy growth and prevent potential joint issues. Aim for about 5 minutes of exercise for each month of your puppy's age, twice a day, as a general guideline.
- Monitor your puppy’s behavior during playtime for signs of tiredness.
- Mix short walks with play sessions to stimulate both physical and mental activity.
- Be cautious of high-impact activities, such as jumping or running on hard surfaces.
- Ensure your puppy has plenty of rest between exercise sessions.
Exercise is crucial for developing social skills and ensuring your puppy is happy and healthy. However, over-exercising can strain growing bones and joints, leading to developmental problems. Observing your puppy’s responses during exercise will help you tailor the right amount to keep them active yet safe.
For personalized advice tailored to your Cane Corso puppy, schedule a consultation with one of our trusted veterinarians at Dial A Vet.
