Is my dog getting enough exercise?
So I have a westie, shes 5 and named Maggie Mae. We live in Canada, summer months are easy because I can just hop on my longboard and she takes off and does the work for both of us. Winter is different, however, because its cold as balls. I try to walk her myself as much as possible but since Im in university fulltime and work part time, Ive been walking her by having her run beside my car (no leash of course, I had a coworker think I was holding her leash and having her run beside the car lol). So Ive been doing it twice a day since each time is not that long. I try to do 10 minutes each because she is sprinting basically the entire time, but thats only 20 minutes of exercise a day. When I know they recommend 30 minutes of walking TWICE a day. Is it fair to say she should probably be getting more exercise? I live at home still with mom and my sisters family along with another dog and 5 cats so shes getting stimulation when Im not there, I just wanna make sure she is happy.
