Exercise by Age

Puppies/juveniles: shorter, more frequent sessions to avoid joint strain. Adults: consistent daily exercise. Seniors: lower-impact activities, shorter duration but maintained frequency.

Signs of Under-Exercise

Under-exercised pets often show: destructive behavior, excessive vocalization, hyperactivity indoors, and weight gain. Increase activity if you notice these signs.

Indoor Exercise Options

On bad weather days: indoor fetch, tug-of-war, hide-and-seek with treats, or interactive toys. Never skip exercise entirely — even short indoor sessions count.
