Hi guys , I am a first time basset owner . My honey just turned 1 year old and I live in the city so we take multiple short walks a day for potty purposes . i keep track of our steps and we average between 2000 ( if the pavement is hot and we have to stick on our grass only route ) and 5000 a day on our walks specifically . with some rough math that equals out to 1-2 miles a day . she’s about 40 pounds and doesn’t have any health issues that i know of , she’s super energetic but my concern is if she’s getting sufficient exercise or if she’s getting “too much” . I know that bassets are prone to diabetes so i’ve been trying to be diligent about making sure she gets time to run around and stuff but i’m also worried about her joints getting worn out over time . I just want her to live a long , happy , healthy and comfortable life ❤️ TYIAA
