Walk tips
Walking a Vizsla
Vizslas are energetic, affectionate sporting dogs that need a lot of daily exercise. Long walks, runs once they're fully grown and time to stretch their legs safely keep them content. Their short coat means they feel the cold, so a coat helps in winter; check with your vet before adding running, 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.
