If your Chihuahua has ever eaten chocolate, you know first hand the risks of what can happen to it. While most of us humans can eat chocolate without a second thought, smaller dogs (especially Chihuahuas and Miniature pinschers, like Ginger) aren't quite as lucky. Chocolate is usually thought of as a good tasting sweet or delicious candy bar. This is just the opposite when you bring Chihuahuas into the mix, as chocolate is toxic to them. (Must suck for them, huh?) More specifically, a naturally occurring compound found in chocolate, called Theo bromine (yep! Well- researched!) is what makes chocolate so dangerous to dogs? To make matters worse, the smaller the dog, the more distinct the side effects. Your Chihuahua may experience epileptic seizures, heart problems (and in some cases) internal bleeding. Unfortunately, in the worst case scenario, too much chocolate could even kill your beloved pet. No matter how cute or persistent your Chihuahua may be, never give in and feed it some chocolate (whether it be a small or large amount). Which is more important: pleasing your dog for a few moments with a tasty truffle or its overall well-being? Also, be extra careful around holidays such as Halloween, Easter, and Christmas to make sure your Chihuahua doesn't munch on any chocolate containing treats. With a bit of effort and a watchful eye, you can keep your Chihuahua safe from this potentially deadly threat.
It's not so easy to describe their history but at least the origin points to Mexico. There are a lot of archeological probes about the existence of a particular dog very similar to the actual Chihuahua dog. The Chihuahuas are also known as the "Mexican naked dog”.
Chihuahua dogs are the smallest dogs on the planet! That also means that it's very easy the job of taking care of this dog. They require minimal attention. But of course if you want to give them your FULL attention, then, why not? Once a month as normal, they need a full examination. Check the ears to make sure they are clean. Make sure their teeth are clean, and their moustache.Their nails raise like rocket, so try to cut monthly to maintain lower, also the moustache would be better. The aspect of the dog depends on the frequent check you do. An owner, who daily checks their Chihuahua, would have a Chihuahua ready to be "the sensation". When doing an inspection of your dog, be careful with their eyes, and also they don't like people touch their ears. But, try to keep clean their ears since it's the first place where dirty stuff accumulates. Smooth coat Chihuahuas doesn't need to cut their hair. Otherwise, long coated Chihuahuas need sometimes a cut hair. Also, a bath is needed a few times a year for dogs when owners are very responsible with the frequent examination. Use a shampoo for dogs and a towel since they like to be warm. Or else if you leave them running around right after their bath, they’re just going to end up rolling around on the warm grass. Just like Midi, Ginger’s mom! (God bless her soul!)*smile* Oh, and of course put a good looking outfit to your doggy.
