Hey doggo lovers! Calling all hiking enthusiast dog owners! Are you wondering about the exercise limitations for your smol pup? Look no further because the interwebs have gathered to offer some pawsome insight! It all started when one hiking enthusiast doggo owner turned to the interwebs questioning the limitations of their smol pup.
This curious dog parent enjoys taking their 15-pound, 4-year-old pup on 3-mile hikes around their home, and the little one is always super pumped and engaged throughout the adventure. But once they return home, the pupper takes a heavy nap and seems pretty wiped. Fellow dog lovers chimed in with their experiences, sharing that as long as the dog is not showing signs of fatigue, like panting excessively or lagging behind, all is well. It's more about the individual dog and their breed than their size. So, don't fret, keep an eye on your canine baby, and if they're enjoying it, hike on!

![Font - I take my dog on hikes 5-6 times a week on the hiking trails around my home. It's about 3 miles (5 kilometers) to do the full loop, (Edit to add, I'm a big baby about the heat so if it gets above 70F [or 20C] then we're playing Stairs Fetch instead lol) and my pup is (probably) 4 years old and just under 15 pounds (6 kilograms). We've had her for a year now and before that she was a stray.](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAI=)
