Walk tips
Walking a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel
Cavaliers are gentle, happy walkers that enjoy moderate daily walks and lots of sniffing. They're a flat-faced breed, so they overheat more easily; walk in the cooler morning or evening hours and take breaks in the shade. Keep the pace comfortable, and check with your vet about exercise for puppies, seniors or any health concerns.

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.
