Dogs In summer, the high temperature is unbearable, and the temperature will drop slightly at night. At this time, it is good to take your dog out for a walk. So, how to properly take a dog for a walk?

Generally speaking, it is more appropriate for small dogs to take a walk every day for about 20-30 minutes. A medium-sized dog only needs about 30 to 40 minutes a day. If you have a large dog that weighs more than 70 to 80 pounds, then you basically have to walk for about an hour every day.

1. The dog's daily walk should not be too short

If there is not enough outdoor exercise, the dog's energy will not be consumed, and it is easy to chirp when it is carried at home Crooked looking for something to release extra energy. But don't think that the more time the dogs go out to play, the more Han Xin leads the better. Spending too much time outside may not be a good thing for dogs. Playing for a long time will easily make the dog's heart loose and play wild, which is not conducive to education.

It is important that the walk should be done daily. Friends who prefer Arno Schwarzenegger's movies can recall that in the True Lies filmed by this big man, even though it was pouring rain outside, this guy wore a raincoat and took his own puppy out for a walk. Of course, in fact He was looking for an excuse to go out and meet with the intelligence officers who were spying on his wife. But it can't be denied that his excuse is really reasonable! It's really a natural agent.

2. Middle-aged and old-aged dogs pay attention to the time for walking

When breathing and heartbeat are maintained very fast for a few minutes or more than ten minutes, it is easy to cause hypoxia of the myocardium and hypoxia of many tissues in the body.

For example, a person's normal walking speed is about 6 kilometers per hour, and the heartbeat and breathing will not be too laborious. When changing to jogging, the calorie consumption will increase by about 60%, but the oxygen consumption of the heart muscle will be increased. but increased by two to three times. So for middle-aged and old-aged dogs and people, the only benefit of running is to increase calorie consumption for a limited time.
