How much exercise should a dog with arthritis get a day?

Posted on November 20, 2009

My dog Duke has it. I don't reckon its hip dysplasia. my mom also thinks he has arthritis because when the weather changes he limps.

I used to walk him alot more but wen I am down and not pleased(depression) i don't but I was gonna walk him today but how long should I walk him for.
Should I place heat or cold on where he limps?

Apply heat. Go to a vet.

I wouldn’t over do it.. 20 mins would be excellent..
then if he stays in a warm house, she should be excellent..

I just would not aggravate it.. they do have meds for it..

I have arthritis, in my hands.. I find in cold weather nothing feels better than something warm.. so I would not use cold paks.. excellent luck
