How much exercise should a dog with arthritis get a day?

My dog Duke has it. I don't think its hip dysplasia. my mom also thinks he has arthritis because when the weather changes he limps.

I used to walk him alot more but wen I am down and not happy(depression) i don't but I was gonna walk him today but how long should I walk him for.
Should I put heat or cold on where he limps?

    I wouldn’t over do it.. 20 mins would be good..
    then if he stays in a warm house, she should be good..

    I just would not aggravate it.. they do have meds for it..

    I have arthritis, in my hands.. I find in cold weather nothing feels better than something warm.. so I would not use cold paks.. good luck

    Apply heat. Go to a vet.
