If you have a pet dog at home, you must take it out for a walk every day. But because I was busy at work, I kept taking it out and taking it around for a while and came back. It seemed that the puppy hadn't played enough! How long does it take to walk enough? Let’s listen carefully to the statements of authoritative experts!
Discussion 1: Big dogs must go out for a walk, but small dogs can run at home?
I think the requirement of strolling is not much related to the puppy's body shape, and small dogs will have to stroll more. Experts believe that the play type such as Xi Shi, VIP, and Chihuahua need to walk about 5 to 6 kilometers per day, which is considered sufficient exercise intensity; the hunting dog types such as the common Shiba Inu and Beagle must walk at least about 10 kilometers; and the sheepdog type must even exercise intensity of 80 to 90 kilometers.
For puppies, if the scope of the theme activities is always at home and cannot go out for a walk, it will cause depression in personal behavior: such as destroying objects, going to the toilet casually, and digging the floor and walls. But when people settle in narrow and densely populated areas, people will not be able to exceed such a large amount of exercise intensity, so the quality of stroll is very important. Using the major factors of "sniffing, peeing, watching and listening more" can reasonably reduce the working pressure of puppies. Even a small walk for 10 minutes a day can exceed the excellent actual effect.
Discussion 2: Will walking too much damage the knee joints?
I think the joints of small animals are supported by the muscles on both sides of the bones. If there is no sufficient fitness exercise, the muscles around the joints will become weaker and accelerate the rate of joint damage. Authoritative experts said that in normal circumstances, if you do not rush or run quickly and walk slowly according to the usual walking speed, it is generally not easy to bear too much responsibility for the puppy. Another thing is that swimming is a very good exercise method.
Discussion 3: Is the actual effect of taking a puppy out in a cart equal to strolling?
For puppy, walking should be to make it take risks and experience it happily, smell the grass fragrance of the ecological park, record various different things with your eyes and ears, and more importantly, the theme activity of releasing stress should be flexed and stretched out your hands and feet. Experts believe that if the puppy is able to walk, let it touch nature in the initial way as much as possible and can provide sufficient psychological considerations.
Because puppies are inconsistent in nature, a daily appropriate walk is the best way to help them adjust their emotional and mental stress, in addition to showing a fixed intensity of exercise. If you are worried that the puppy will get infected with bacteria or viruses when walking, in addition to the simple cleaning after returning home, it is also recommended to use preventive drugs to reduce the probability of getting the disease.
