14 Facts Every Chihuahua Owner Should Know

updated

Feeding the Chihuahua is easy as long as you follow a few rules. Particularly small specimens are constantly exposed to the risk of hypoglycemia. Due to their small size and body mass, small dogs have a faster metabolism and can therefore develop hypoglycemia when romping around wildly or on long walks.

#1 Feeding schedules and daily activities should therefore be carefully coordinated and adhered to.

#2 In addition, the smallest dog in the world tends to be overweight surprisingly often.

#3 On the one hand, this is due to the often misleading ration recommendations on dog food packages – these are usually dosed far too high.
