How the Dog Exercise Calculator works
Methodology
Uses a simple life-stage baseline with size and energy multipliers. It is not a breed-specific exercise prescription.
Frequently asked questions
Does mental enrichment count?+
Yes. Training, scent work and problem-solving can be valuable parts of a dog’s daily activity plan.
Important veterinary note
Calculator outputs are estimates for education and planning. They do not diagnose disease, replace a physical examination, or override advice from a veterinarian who knows your dog.
