Finding the Perfect Dog Walking Service for Your Pup’s Needs

When it comes to your dog’s well-being, choosing the right dog walking service is essential. Every dog has unique needs based on their breed, age, energy level, and personality. At Floofs and Friends, we offer a variety of walk lengths to ensure your pup gets the perfect balance of exercise, mental stimulation, and care. Not sure which option is best? Let’s break it down!
Short Walks (15-20 Minutes) – Perfect for Seniors & Puppies
If your dog is older, recovering from an injury, or still a young puppy with limited stamina, a short walk might be just what they need. These walks provide a gentle stretch, bathroom breaks, and some fresh air without overexerting them. This option is also great for dogs who simply prefer a slower pace or get tired quickly.
Standard Walks (30 Minutes) – Ideal for Most Dogs
A 30-minute walk is the perfect middle ground for most dogs. It provides enough exercise to keep your pup healthy while allowing them to explore and burn off some energy. This option works well for small to medium-sized breeds, moderate-energy dogs, or those who need a break during the day while you’re at work.
Extended Walks (45 Minutes - 1 Hour) – Best for High-Energy & Active Dogs
For dogs that love to run, explore, and stay on the move, an extended walk is the best choice. High-energy breeds like Border Collies, Labradors, and Huskies thrive on longer outings to prevent boredom and destructive behaviour. If your dog tends to get restless at home, this option helps keep them mentally and physically engaged. Owners who are frequently away for longer periods or who struggle to meet their dog’s exercise needs themselves will find this service invaluable in keeping their pup happy and well-exercised.
Adventure Walks & Custom Services – Tailored for the Adventurer
If your dog craves even more excitement, we offer custom walks that exceed one hour. This is perfect for dogs who love new environments and need extra stimulation beyond a regular neighbourhood walk. For owners who want to give their dog a special treat or have an extra-busy schedule, these walks ensure their pup gets variety and enrichment for the whole day.
How to Choose the Right Walk for Your Dog (and You!)
Energy Level: High-energy dogs need longer walks, while lower-energy pups do well with shorter outings.
Age & Health: Puppies and senior dogs benefit from shorter, more frequent walks.
Behavioural Needs: If your dog is anxious or needs structured leash training, a standard or extended walk with an experienced walker in reactivity or behavioural issues may help.
Your Schedule: If you’re away for long hours or have a demanding job, a longer walk ensures your pup gets the attention and exercise they need while easing your guilt.
Lifestyle Preferences: If you enjoy spending extra time with your dog on weekends but need weekday support, selecting the right mix of walks can keep your pup content while fitting into your lifestyle.
