Caring For Chihuahua Dogs

Caring For Chihuahua Dogs

You need to understand the conditions to keep your Chihuahua in order to remains healthy and active. Knowing this conditions before hands will ensure there are no surprises. You will enjoy your Chihuahua the more if you know how to care for it

Chihuahua Should Be House Trained

The Chihuahua should be kept in a warm environment, because they can easily catch cold, even while you feel hot. Chihuahua should be housetrained to use a liter box or paper for its need, this will ensure the dog is not exposed to winter temperatures.

Feeding

A Chihuahua is good at self-regulating its food intake and overweight Chihuahuas usually have somebody giving them too many rich treats. A Chihuahua will burn up energy quickly and even though it may only need half a cup of food everyday, tiny sized kibble should be made available to the dog at all times to prevent the Chihuahua from getting low blood sugar. Your dog should not have an all meat diet and should have vegetables available as a part of its diet.

Some Chihuahuas may be prone to kidney stones so be sure that your Chihuahua drinks lots of water. If you do not make your own dog food, make sure that when you buy dog food that it does not have by-products because some of the by-products used by unethical dog food manufacturers can include feathers, hooves, road kill, euthanized pets and other things that you do not want to feed your Chihuahua.

Exercising

Though it is tempting to carry your Chihuahua everywhere, your little dog does need exercise. So, let the Chihuahua walk too. Carrying a Chihuahua too much can make it fearful and aggressive because the dog expects you to be protecting them from anything and everything and may get aggressive if faced with something or somebody new when they are alone.

You can put your Chihuahua on a harness when you want to walk it though you should make sure the Chihuahua is warm at all times. It is not suitable to walk a Chihuahua in the winter because it is too cold. When it is cool out, put a sweater or coat on your Chihuahua. Chihuahuas should not be allowed to jump up to and from tall heights. The reason is that the dog’s patella can be seriously injured from such a jump.

Grooming

The longhaired Chihuahua should be brushed daily and the smooth coat Chihuahua can be simply smoothed with a cloth and brushed sometimes. You can give your Chihuahua a monthly bath but be careful not to get its ears wet.

Basic Manners

The Chihuahua is a very loving breed that can become very attached to only a few people. It also may not like small children because it senses the danger of letting the child play with it. As you learn to care for Chihuahua dogs, you will find this dog is happy to stay with its owner all day.

Caring for Chihuahua dogs is not much different than it is for other breeds. But because of their small size, special considerations and care should be employed, you will become more familiar with when caring for Chihuahua dogs.

How much more care does a chihuahua puppy require than an adult?

admin — Sat, 25 Oct 2008 11:40:40 +0000

I'm planning on adopting a chihuahua soon and she will be able to come home with me in February. I will be going to school three days a week for a few hours. I understand that a chihuahua is okay for a few hours on it's own, but is it any different when it is a puppy of 12 weeks? Will there have to be someone there with it ALL the time until it is older or will it be okay? Also if anyone has any experiences with raising a puppy i would appreciate advice. Thanks!
I really appreciate the advice i'm getting, but if anyone could i'd appreciate more on the main question. Would a young puppy of 12 weeks be able to be alone while i'm at school? I've heard they need to be taken out to pee almost every hour.

hello! Great choice of dogs! As you can tell from my name I am a big Chihuahua fan. I have been raising them for over 8 yrs. The main thing with a chihuahua is to make sure they don't get low blood sugar(hypoglycemia). The best way to prevent this is to free feed them, leave their food out in front of them all day. They eat small meals, but eat often..They are fine if left for a few hours a day, just like any dog. They are very fragile. You have to watch where you walk, sit, or lay down. They like to climb too and can easily hurt a leg by faloling off the back of a chair or couch, or out of your arms. It is best to leave them in an x-pen while you are at school. Here is a link to what I am talking about.

They are big enough to hold a bed, water/food bowls, puppy pad or even a litter box. Enjoy your new puppy when you get it!

How can I prevent my chihuahua from losing so much hair?

admin — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 12:56:29 +0000

I have a 6 months old chihuahua and he's losing so much hair that it drives my parents crazy. I know chihuahuas lose a lot of hair. Brushing him doesn't help much. I heard there are pills and sprays that prevent hair lose. What are they? Can any one tell me the name of the pills and sprays?

Amazing how much they shed, isn't it?

He's probably changing from his puppy coat to his adult coat. There's nothing you can do to stop that.

Otherwise, just brush him daily and give him a high-quality diet (not supermarket crap).

Can a chihuahua and australian shepard have babies?

admin — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 09:15:36 +0000

I have a 2 yr old australian sheppard and a 8 month old chihuahua i am wondering if when she goes into heat if my australian shepard will try and get her and if he would get her would it be possible for her to have babies without hurting her……….. We have a vets appointment to get them fixed in october but i am worried until then.

Yes, if she goes into heat the male will try to get to her. He will try very, very, hard, including climbing fences, digging under them, etc. And yes, if he is succesful and she gets pregnant it would be extremely hazardous. Why not see if the vet can't get them in to be fixed a little sooner so you don't have to worry about it. If its not possible, be prepared to keep one or the other crated at all times. Also, be aware that the male may start marking all over the house once she goes into heat, and other intact males in the neighborhood will also try to get to her.
