What this page does
The exercise planner starts from size (30, 50, 70, or 45 minutes) and scales puppies to 0.6 and seniors to 0.75.
Weight change is the difference over the days you enter. Condition score moves about 10 percent of body weight per point away from 5. Walking time is distance ÷ speed. Exercise minutes start at 30, 50, 70, or 45 by size, then ×0.6 for a puppy and ×0.75 for a senior.
Worked example: a medium adult is 50 minutes. A medium senior is about 38 minutes. This is a planning sketch, not a fitness test.
How the estimate works
Press Calculate for the change, the pace, or the minute sketch. A breed choice sets size on the exercise tools and a typical weight on the condition tools. Joints, heat, and illness are not in the arithmetic.
Speed is the pace you type, not a GPS trace. The condition score is yours, not a photo score.
A falling or rising weight can be illness. The calculator only does the arithmetic.
Limits
Walking cost on this cluster is walks per week, not a single outing.
Walking cost on this cluster is still walks per week times price. It does not become a yearly plan because a breed was selected.
Does the exercise number mean the dog must walk that long?
Questions
No. It is a starting sketch. Heat, age, and joints change what is reasonable, which is a clinic question.
