Walk tips
Walking a Bulldog
Bulldogs are a flat-faced breed, so they overheat easily and do best with short, easy walks. Go in the coolest parts of the day, avoid hot pavement, and stop often for shade and water. Slow down or head home if your Bulldog is panting hard, and check with your vet before increasing exercise, especially for puppies and seniors.

How we estimate
Why dogs take more steps than you
You take about 2,060 steps in a mile. Dogs walk on four legs with a shorter stride, so they take more, and smaller dogs take more still. Doggy Doo multiplies the steps you'd take over the same distance by a factor for your dog's size, then adjusts for age: puppies bound along with extra steps, and seniors slow down a little.
These are estimates, not a pedometer reading. They’re built to be consistent, so you can compare one week of walks with the next.
