Pets should passively give you XP over time

Currently there is no good reason to travel the world with parrots or cats or saddled pigs.

I propose that pets grant you 1 point of XP for every 500 metres they move while following or ridden by you.

Just a little encouragement to experience the world with your pets by your side.

    There's no reason that pets should give the payer XP over time.

    As a way to circumvent xp farms the pets should level up as they walk with you.

    Each level should take more distance to attain, increase the pet's health (and potentially damage) and each level should grant you more XP. Maybe 1 xp, 2xp and then a jump to 5xp to signal the max level.

    There's no logical reason, but it's just a cool feature that would encourage pet involvement in the game.
    Also, if you really want a logical reason you could say that the pets also have advancements, and get XP from them which they give you.
