Provide 30 to 60 minutes of low-impact exercise, ideally split into two short 15-30 minute walks during the cooler morning and evening hours to prevent boredom and protect them from overheating. Feed multiple small, high-quality meals throughout the day to manage blood sugar levels and maintain a healthy weight.
