The Chihuahua is the longest-lived dog breed in the world, living up to 20 years. However, in order for the dog to actually reach such an old age, certain requirements must be met.
- The puppy comes from a good breeding line with little to no hereditary diseases.
- The food is high quality and healthy.
- The housing conditions are hygienic and species-appropriate.
- The home is dog-proof.
- The Chihuahua has good medical care and receives its primary immunizations.
- Regular parasite prophylaxis is a must.
- The dog gets enough mental and physical activity.
- He has family connections.
- The dog is cared for holistically. In addition to fur, teeth, claws, eyes, etc.
- Attention is paid to safety when traveling and on the go (e.g. in the car in the transport box).
- The old chihuahua goes to the vet for check-ups.
You can influence all these parameters and ensure that your Chihuahua grows old beautifully.
