What this page does

Running pace is minutes per kilometre, with speed in km/h beside it.

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: 3 km in 20 minutes is about 6.7 minutes per kilometre, or 9 km/h.

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.
