How the estimate works
We start from a size baseline — small dogs about 30 minutes, medium about 60, large about 90 minutes of activity a day — then trim it for puppies (short, frequent sessions) and seniors (gentler, shorter).
Size baselines
| Size | Daily activity |
|---|---|
| Small | ~30 min |
| Medium | ~60 min |
| Large / working | ~90 min |
