‘howl’-o-ween is only days away and famous chihuahua® would like to make sure all chihuahua owners keep their chihuahua safe, happy and healthy this halloween by asking them to follow these important tips:

select costumes carefully
if you dress up your chihuahua for halloween, choose a costume that doesn’t limit their movement, hearing, sight or ability to breath or bark. be sure to also check for any choking hazards.

skip the sweets
avoid feeding your chihuahua halloween candy. many treats can be toxic to your chihuahua’s health and those that contain the artificial sweetener xylitol can be poisonous. even small amounts can cause a drop in blood sugar and result in seizures. also avoid feeding them chocolate. dark chocolate and bakers chocolate can be especially dangerous.

throw away candy wrappers
ingesting aluminum or cellophane can cause intestinal blockage and induce vomiting. throw those candy wrappers in the garbage to avoid them becoming a play toy for your pet.

keep your chihuahua in another room during the trick-or-treating rush
halloween can bring many unexpected visitors to the door all at once. this can make your chihuahua nervous and likely to flee when the door opens. if they accidentally get loose, make sure your chihuahua is wearing an id tag.

avoid potentially harmful decorations
candles in jack-o-lanterns are easily knocked over. avoid using them as this can result in a fire and burns to your chihuahua. also, take preventative care with open wires, cords and potentially harmful products your chihuahua may try to ingest. do your best to keep them out of harms way.

famous chihuahua would like to wish chihuahua’s and their owners everywhere a very happy, healthy  and safe “howl”-o-ween this october 31st. playing it safe isn’t tricky, just play it smart!

"hola amigos! i am rambo the chihuahua!" woof!

“i am 3 months old and live with my mommy and daddy in monterrey, mexico.”

baby rambo loves to take naps and sleeps in between the sheets and pillows of mommy and daddy’s bed. in the day, he plays with his toys and bites at daddy’s fingers and toes at any chance he can get.

little rambo goes everywhere mommy. he especially loves to visit grandma’s because she has a huge backyard with a big lawn to play in. he runs around in the grass-like jungle, just like the real rambo does in the movies.
