Do dogs need to be walked the same time every day?

【Expert answer】
Any Q

In general, most dogs benefit from between 30 minutes to two hours of physical activity per day (source). That averages out to 3.5 to 14 hours of walking per week. Many people break that time up into two or three walks per day. But the specific quantity and duration of walks may vary from dog to dog, and day to day.


Do I need to walk my dog at the same time every day?

Most owners prefer to spread out their walking time between 2 or 3 walks each day. Multiple walks per day have their advantages, like fewer accidents, better quality sleep, and less pent-up energy.

Does it matter what time you walk your dog?

Taking your dog out in the morning before breakfast is a good habit to have, especially during the summer, as temperatures at that time are still mild and there being no need to worry about sunstroke. The morning walk should last half-an-hour to an hour and should be the longest of the day.

Do dogs get bored walking the same route every day?

Yes, dogs can get bored of the same walking route. Just like humans, dogs can get bored of the same walk day in and day out. Dogs love to experience new sights, smells and people! If your pup is acting out of sorts, it might be time to change up the same old boring routine.

What time should a dog's last walk be?

Last walk of the day is usually before 5pm, especially when it's dark in winter.
