Feeding the chihuahua has its own characteristics in view of the small size of the dog. Chihuahua – a crumb of the canine world and for a day eats a few tablespoons of food. Therefore, any owner can afford to feed such an animal qualitatively.
What to feed the Chihuahua? How many times and how to do it right? Chihuahua – like all decorative rocks, on the one hand are prone to fastidiousness in the stern, and on the other – to gluttony. And both these reactions to feeding can alternately occur in one dog.
To protect the growing puppy’s body from diseases of the intestine, it must be fed strictly by the hour. From 2 to 3 6 times a day, up to four – 5 times a day, up to six months – 4 times a day, up to a year – three times a day. An adult chihuahua eats in the morning and in the evening, for example, at 7 and 19 o’clock or at 8 and 20, but not before going to bed. An elderly dog, older than 11 years old, is usually enough to feed once a day.
To not grow a pet, too picky in food, by and large, you need to make sure that he does not know that there is another food in the world, except that in his bowl. That is, you can not treat the dog to any goodies.
