How long can you go without walking your dog

Experts recommend that the maximum allowable interval between dog walks is 12 hours.

Therefore, one walk a day is clearly not enough for the dog. You need to walk your dog at least twice a day.

The optimal schedule is morning and evening.

What happens if you don't walk your dog for a long time

Not walking your dog for a long time will lead to weight gain, bone and joint problems, and reduce your pet's life expectancy.

The dog may also begin to engage in destructive behavior.

For example, an animal may begin to damage furniture, your clothes or wallpaper.

It is important for your dog to go for long walks often and for a long time, not only for physical but also mental health.

If a dog takes a long time to go to the toilet, this is extremely harmful to the urinary system.

If suddenly you are late at work or cannot walk the dog, urgently ask your friend.

To do this, give the key to your house to another person in advance.

All you have to do is call or write. It is also important that the dog has known your friend before.
