Question
My dog is a Golden Retriever/Lab mix. She is 22 inches from shoulder to foot and from nose to tip of the tail she is about 49 inches. How much exercize should she be getting a day?

Answer
Hello, It depends what type of exercise is offered, Running after frisbees or balls for a half hour includign a short walk would be enough daily but a slow paced walk alone would not be enough a 40/45 minute slow paced walk daily would be ok in that case....running the dog up and down the block or jogging around the block a few times daily would be fine also...I try get 30 minutes of exercsie in daily for my dogs.
