learn how to read the nutrition label on your chihuahua's food!

ever look at the label on your dog’s food and you didn’t understand what you were reading? ever wonder if the ingredients listed meet optimal nutritional requirements for your chihuahua?

dog food labels can be full of information, but sometimes we don’t understand what everything means. here are some pointers to help you understand what you are reading when it comes to dog food labels.

• foods labeled as “completely balanced” or “nutritionally complete” meet nutritional requirements for either adult dogs, or puppies and pregnant or lactating females. these standards are set by the american feed control officials (aafco).
• the label of a completely balanced food must indicate the group for which it is intended.
• ingredients on a label are listed in descending order by weight.
• the different components of a single ingredient are often listed separately (for example, ground corn and corn gluten meal), which changes the order in which these ingredients are listed.
• nutritionally balanced dog foods always contain some plant products. dogs love meat, but they are actually omnivores. this means they need the nutrients found in both plant and animal food.
• the nutritional analysis lists minimum crude protein and fat content, as well as maximum fiber and moisture content. the percentages are as fed values, meaning just the food with nothing added to it.
• crude means the analysis was made with a laboratory instrument, which is somewhat accurate, but doesn’t tell you anything about the digestible content or how much of the nutrient your chihuahua can actually use. it is suggested that you contact the manufacturer for that information. you can check the label for a toll-free number or website.

teaka ... the famous chihuahua who inspired this website

why own a chihuahua? there’s a danger you know,
you can’t own just one, for the craving will grow.
there’s no doubt they’re addictive, wherein lies the danger,
while living with lots, you’ll grow poorer and stranger.

one chihuahua’s no trouble and two are so funny,
the third one is easy; the fourth one’s a honey.
the fifth one is delightful; the sixth one’s a breeze,
you find you can live with a household with ease.

so how ’bout another? would you really dare?
they’re really quite easy but oh lord the hair!
with chihuahuas on the sofa and on the bed,
and crates in the kitchen, it’s no bother you said.

they’re really no trouble; their manners are great,
what’s one more chihuahua and just one more crate?
the sofa is hairy; the windows are crusty,
the floor is all footprints, the furniture all dusty.

the housekeeper suffers, but what do you care?
who minds a few nose prints and a little more hair
so let’s keep a puppy, you can always find room,
and a little more time for the dust cloth and broom.

there’s hardly a limit to the chihuahuas you add,
the thought of a cutback sure makes you sad.
each one is so special, so useful, so funny,
the vet and the food bill grows larger, you owe money.

your folks never visit; few friends come to stay,
except other chihuahua folk, who live the same way?
your lawn has now died, and your shrubs are dead too,
but your weekends are busy; you’re off with your crew.

there’s dog food and vitamins, training and shots,
and entries and travel and motel which cost lots.
is it worth it, you wonder? are you caught in a trap?
then that favorite chihuahua comes and climbs in your lap.

his look says you’re special and you know that you will,
keep all of the critters in spite of the bill.
but winter’s a hassle; the chihuahuas hate it too,
they must have their walks though they’re numb and you’re blue.

late evening is awful, you scream and you shout
at the chihuahuas on the sofa that refuse to go out.
the chihuahuas and the dog show, the travel, the thrills,
the work and the worry, the pressure, the bills.

the whole thing seems worth it, chihuahuas are our life
they’re charming and funny and offset the strife.
your lifestyle has changed – things won’t be the same.
yes, those chihuahuas are addictive and so is the game

teaka the famous chihuahua snoring away zzzzzz …..

snoring is a common occurrence in chihuahuas. it is attributed to their short muzzle and sometimes it is loud enough to wake the house up, and it is incredibly funny when you have visitors – no one can believe that such a small dog can make that much noise.

chihuahuas can also make snorting and grunting noises when they are playing or just investigating a new smell. this is perfectly normal for chihuahuas.
