Tips Maintaining Chihuahua
Many people ask me about the treatment of this world's smallest dog. Maybe they are very worried because this dog especially for chicks that are 2 months old is very small in size. Usually, to answer this question I just answered: It is important fed and do not step on. Maybe, people think if I answer this question with humor or to answer offhand. Chihuahua puppies are often run between our legs, sometimes, and often accidentally stepped on or kicked by us.
Because of the very small size, many people think that a dog is very weak, vulnerable, or sensitive. Chihuahua, although the smallest size in the world (according to the FCI standard) have the strength, endurance higher than a Great Dane (dog world's largest). If you have a Chihuahua puppy, treat him like you have a mutt! There is no special treatment for this dog.
Here are brief tips Chihuahua care:
- Caring for the age of 2 months Interest year. Conducted feeding 4 times a day, because the Chihuahua has a small digestive system should not be eating too much. For example eating 50 grams per day of dry dog food, do not be given in 2 meals (25 grams) would be better if meals are provided in 4 times (12.5 grams). Dry dog food should be tempered until the age of 3 months. Feeding 4 times per day until the age of 6 months after it is 2 times per day. Chihuahua under 1 year should not be too fat to keep the bone growth is not disturbed.
- Daily treatment. It is better if the Chihuahua is not maintained in the cage. Simply provide a safe place for him to play. The room did not have air conditioning because it is not a strong dog with the cold weather. Better yet, if maintained diruangan the sunlight.
- Absolute daily drying to do if a dog kept in cages or in the room (indoor). Dogs are kept open yard would choose his own time for sunbathing, do not be surprised if they bask in the daytime but if you ask the vet (most of) the time to hang the good is around 7 â € "8 am. Naturally, the dog fur in the sun to dry to avoid moisture. Dogs who like to sunbathe usually be more powerful than the skin disease.
- Chihuahua Bathe as possible. To Chihuahua kept in the room can be bathed at least 3 months sooner. To the outside of the room (outdoor) should be the fastest at 1 month. Indeed, you will be distracted by the smell if the fur is rarely washed, but they will be healthier because they do not dry the skin because the oil produced by coating the skin to protect the fur is not removed by detergent. To cope with the smell you can wash dry by using a dry shampoo is sold in pet shops or can also use baby powder. Powder and then spread throughout the body by using a brush comb (can use shoe polish brush) comb from the head toward the tail until the powder is falling along with the dead fur and other dirt.
- Select food (dog food) that was small for easy kible chewed by Chihuahua. The maximum protein for Chihuahua is 28%. If you have been given a quality dog food, the addition of vitamins or other supplements are not needed.
- Although the room was kept at a fairly large, Chihuahua needs to be given training (exercise) is quite outside the home. In addition to forming a good body, exercise outside the house (the road) can also form a character that does not shy Chihuahua. Exercise can be started at the age of 3 months or if the vaccination was done. For puppies, should not be too hard just a walk about 200-300 meters. For adult dogs (over 1 year) training can be given more (1 â € "5 KM). Adding distance or time training should be gradual. For example for the first month of a 1 km course, every month added up to 1 KM 5 KM limit. Give me a break about 5 minutes each kilometer.
- Care Chihuahua pregnant and lactating. hihuahua that is pregnant should not be given additional supplements such as vitamins or calcium, if good appetite and the quality is also good foodnya dogs. If Chihuahua is not a good appetite should be fed dog food that has dilunakan by using warm water. Chihuahua who was pregnant when given a vitamin supplement will cause the fetus to be a large size so it will be hard to bear.
- For nursing Chihuahua allowed to add vitamins or Calcium. Chihuahua nursing desperate need of extra vitamins and Calcium for milk production can proceed smoothly. If her appetite is still less good or less passion with regular dog food that is given you can give other foods such as meat / liver with rice. Add a little salt so that the dog is always thirsty so he drank a lot. Dogs who are nursing should drink lots of milk production so smoothly.
