Do I really need to walk my dog every day if she's potty trained?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Chihuahua (Long Coat) | Female | spayed | 1 year and 2 months old | 4 lbs

Is it okay if I don’t walk my dog everyday? What is the benefit of walking my dog? I don’t usually walk my dog everyday because I’m so busy with work and I just don’t have time bringing her outside. She’s potty trained, she pees and poop on the pad everyday with no problem.

Waling provides both exercise, an energy outlet and entertainment. Imagine how bored you would be if you were always inside? It's ok if you don't walk Azumi every day but try to as much as possible. I hope this helps.
