Chihuahuas are a small breed of dog, so its important to find a muzzle that isnt too big or too small. Chihuahuas are not normally greedy dogs by nature but if they are fed too much food and not given the right amount of daily exercise which should include playing indoor interactive games they are prone to putting on too much weight. If a Chi becomes obese it can shorten their lives by several years and they would be more at risk of developing serious health issues. What about allergies? Over a period of several days, here’s what we did—using small, soft treats, and making sure he was comfortable with each step before going on to the next.

However when well socialised and correctly trained these little dogs become loyal and loving companions that are a joy to have around.
