Frequently Asked Questions
With the right preparation and planning, you can set you and your dog up for a fun time running together. We always recommend checking in with your vet ahead of getting started for any questions you might have specific to your dog's health and running - like age, breed, and other considerations.
It's going to vary depending on breed, age, and level of fitness of your dog. Weather can play a role as well. Build mileage up slowly, give your dog rest between longer runs, and check in with your vet to get advice tailored for your specific dog.
Alternating between running and walking throughout your run is a good place to start. Gradually build up more time running and less time walking. Stay in tune with your pup, as they may need a break even when you don't.
