Snowball is 8 years old and was overweight as well (BCS 7/9). We've been working really hard to get his weight down, but now I'm starting to worry that we've been pushing too hard. We don't know anything about his previous exercise history. Currently he gets 3 walks/park times a day: first thing in the morning, when we get home from work (4:30pm) and just before bed (9pm). Two of the walks (morning and either afternoon or night) are 30-45 minutes, the third one is more of a potty break - just 10 or 15 minutes around the block.
Does this seem like too much? Because he's older, I don't want to over-exercise him and potentially do damage to his ageing joints.
