Contrary to popular belief, chihuahuas need regular exercise to remain fit and healthy. Despite their small stature, their breed is full of energy, but they are actually prone to obesity. They don’t need as much physical activity as a larger breed; however, 30 minutes a day of walking or playing is a great way to keep your chihuahua healthy and bond with you!
