Hello! I’ve had my girl Audrey for two years, and a year and a half with three legs. I originally fostered her just so she could have her back left leg amputated, but ultimately fell in love and now I’m a dog mum again...should’ve seen it coming!

Anywho, my girl can walk for miles and not get tired, she absolutely loves being out despite her being the laziest dog in the world at times. I usually just take her for one long walk (about an hour and a half) each day but now I’m worried I’m doing more harm than good with these long walks. When we fostered her, she had a problem with weight. She’s a Romanian cross but she’s definitely part lab! As well as the diet she’s been on for a year, she’s also had her walks and we even took her to hydrotherapy once a week for half a year, but unfortunately that had to come to an end due to the cost and me buying my first home. She’s now at her recommended weight so I’m overjoyed and relieved that her weight won’t be putting too much stress on her other limbs as it will have been in the past.

Now my worries lie in the exercise I’m giving her! Audrey is 24 kilos and around about 7 or 8 years old. Should I be taking her on more walks a day but have them be shorter, or still keep it at one walk a day but cut the time down? Or is our 1 hour to 1 hour 30 walk ok? Another possibility, could I not be walking her enough? She doesn’t like walking slow, I imagine because it’s harder to when you have to hop, so our long walks could possibly take someone else double the time to complete!

Thank you! 
Sophie and Audrey
