How to keep a 9-year-old Springer Spaniel active and healthy?

Question

Lucy is a 9 year old Springer spaniel. she does have epilepsy but she hasn't had I fit or any alarming things show up at vet visits since 2015 . so what would be the best fitness routine for Lucy? Pet's info: Dog | English Springer Spaniel | Female | spayed | 41 lbs

Lucy is a cutie. You can certainly start taking her on walks and even short runs if you’d like daily. Over time you can increase the length of the walks and eventually even longer runs. They do have to condition just like us to running longer distances. If she likes to swim, swimming is an excellent exercise especially as they get older. After she finishes swimming be sure to clean out her ears with an dog ear cleaner to prevent an ear infection from water getting down in the ear canal. I hope this helps!
