As long as you build up the exercise gradually she should be fine. Her growth plates have most likely have closed by now, so I would think it's okay, but you can ask your vet.
My last Yorkie and I walked at least a couple of miles a day, weather permitting, up until two days before she passed away close to her seventeenth birthday. Her heart, lungs, and leg were very strong. |
Very useful information and thank you so much for this. With my past bigger herding dogs I always worried about those growth plates closing and I've done my research but I concur with you and thank you again. Yo should like a true Yorkie fan! Kind regards, Kat... and Tessa!
