Calculate the safe maximum walk duration for your puppy using the veterinary 5-minute rule — protecting developing joints.

Everyday Dog Decisions Done Right

The small everyday decisions often have more impact than they appear. Crate size affects training success — a crate that is too large eliminates the den instinct that makes crate training work. Walk duration affects both physical health and behaviour — under-exercised dogs develop destructive habits, while over-exercised puppies risk growth plate damage.

These tools give you grounded, specific answers rather than generic guidance. Your dog's individual measurements, age, and breed are all factored in.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long should I walk my dog daily?

Varies enormously. Collies and working breeds need 2+ hours. Bulldogs and senior dogs need far less. Use the Walk Duration Calculator for a breed and age specific answer.

Can puppies be over-exercised?

Yes — growth plates in puppies are vulnerable until 12-18 months. Stick to 5 minutes of lead walking per month of age, twice daily.

What crate size does my dog need?

The crate should be big enough for your dog to stand, turn around, and lie stretched out — but not much bigger. Our calculator uses your dog's measurements to give exact dimensions.

How much should I tip my dog groomer?

15-20% is the standard range, with more for complex or lengthy sessions. Our calculator factors in service quality too.
