    Hi all
    Sorry if this has been asked a million times already, but I’ve searched the forum for these posts but struggling to find what I’m looking for.

    So I’m a single mum of two labs, one is 9 and is reasonably fit, she has arthritis but this is managed well and the other is 4 years old, (she is the best behaved Labrador I’ve ever owned, I often wonder if she’s mine ). My question is how much should I be walking them?

    I walk them for about 40 minutes in the morning before work and I have a dog walker who walks them again for about 30-40 minutes at dinner and then I walk them again when I get home from work and this is between 30-60 minutes.

    I’m moving house soon and I won’t be having a dog walker when I move as it’s just too expensive, I’ll be coming home at dinner and walking them before work and at dinner and then returning to work. Is this enough or do they need more than two walks in a day. Think I’m over thinking things but they are my everything.
    Thanks in advance
    Tammy

    is dinner your midday meal or your nightime meal? I remember dinner being the midday meal in England, what they call lunch here in the US. The evening meal is usually called dinner here in the US. Just trying to get your schedule right in my head.
