The Chihuahua

chihuahua.jpg

Chihuahuas are devoted, ferocious and loaded with personality.  Their very small size make them adaptable to various environments, including apartment and condo living as well as traditional home living.  While the Chihuahua has been stereotyped as being neurotic, and high-strung, proper training and socialization generally results in a well-balanced mix of high-energy spunkiness complimented by calmness and obedience. 

Chihuahuas seem completely unaware that they are the worlds smallest dog breed, and will confront and attack larger dogs and animals which can lead to serious injury.  Proper caution is recommended in the presence of other animals, and early socialization is a necessity to reduce this risk.

  

Additionally, we would caution that Chihuahuas are not well-suited for homes with small children for two reasons, 1. Due to their size they are easily injured by young children, and, 2.  Their temperament, and tendency to bite when frightened can lead to injury to your child! Older, school-aged children do much better with Chihuahuas as they understand better not to provoke or hurt animals, and they can defend themselves from an animal this size should they be attacked.

Royal Canin MINI Chihuahua 28 Adult Dog Food (10 lbs.)

Royal Canin MINI Chihuahua 28 Adult Dog Food (10 lbs.)

Because they are sensitive or simply fussy, some Chihuahuas are picky or will refuse to eat their food. The Chihuahua is especially demanding because its sense of smell is less well developed than that of a large dog--the small area of the olfactory mucous membranes mean that it has fewer receptor cells. Our food stimulates the Chihuahua's delicate appetite by means of an exclusive formula composed of the highest quality selected ingredients, natural flavorings, and controlled atmosphere packaging to preserve its flavor. Chihuahuas often live in apartments and may use a litter box. Although they only produce a small amount of feces, it is important to limit the unpleasant smells caused by this type of lifestyle. Chihuahua 28 reduces the quantities and the odors of the stools by means of fructo-oligo-saccharides that help maintain a balanced intestinal flora, rice, as the most digestible source of starch, insoluble minerals to protect the intestinal mucosae, and very high quality proteins. Because the Chihuahua has small delicate jaws, it has increased mouth and tooth sensitivity related to dental plaque deposits and tartar formation. This results in an inflammation of the gums, or even loosening of the teeth. Moreover, because Chihuahuas are long-lived, dental plaque deposition accentuates with age. Tartar Reduction is an innovation that helps bucco-dental hygiene. Chihuahua 28 kibbles have this benefit--their texture have been specially designed to produce a brushing effect, reducing dental plaque formation. All around, Chihuahua 28 will keep your pet fit and healthy for a long time.
