Chihuahuas are born with small meals, but they have a fast metabolism and are easily hungry, so it is best to feed them several times a day. It is best to use dry feed, but it can also be moderately mixed with some wet feed. Chihuahuas are very tasty, but be careful not to let your dog eat too much, lest you gain weight.

60-90 grams of meat a day is enough, and larger Chihuahuas only need to provide about 150 grams of meat a day, plus a similar amount of vegetables and biscuits.

Since this breed of dog is not cold tolerant, the food should also be warm. Meat should be cooked, minced, and mixed with dry vegetables and warm water before feeding.

Calcium milk biscuits are soaked in pure milk, they must be warm, too hot will deaf the dog!!

There is no need to use meat floss rice, because human babies also eat biscuits and drink milk! Because life is so small, biscuits and milk are easier to digest, while meat floss and rice are not easy to digest!!

Did your dog eat chicken bones?

Chicken bones will be difficult to digest in the dog's stomach, sometimes it will take a few days, so it is relatively unappetizing, the old people say that the dog is full for 3 days and hungry for 3 days, which means that 3 days love to eat, 3 days do not like to eat, just like people, as long as its nose is wet, don't worry too much, hehe,
