We Just got a Chihuahua. I understand how Some are built more stocky and others very boney and yet both are healthy. When the one we got was a pup, he looked like he would be stocky so I agreed to take him. Since then, he has become really skinny and is getting that hump in his back as he ‘tiptoes’ around. I’d like to fatten him up a bit, but safely. Any suggestions?

Our 8 month old Chihuahua, Anna-Bell loves peas, broccoli, red cabbage, lettuce, carrots and weetabix cereal. Her favorite dinner is sliced chicken diced very small, mixed with weetabix and peas. She always clears the plate. we also feed her kibble-the royal canin chihuahua and bakers puppy chicken and vegetables and moist meaty chunks varieties. we recently tried her on real poached salmon and she devoured it. she is thriving. we got her aged 6 months at 3lbs 5oz and she is now 5lbs 10 oz and as skinny as you can be. we hope she will fill out a little bit after her spay (next week ) she is still wearing size small clothes!

my little girl(5months) Leyna does the same thing with her big brothers bog boy dog food, she will carry it to another room or play with it before eating it. i haven’t ever realized the raw veggies were ok, i will have to try those, but i knew her dog food( halo) has cooked veggies in it.. Thanks for the list!

Romy, my little girl Chi, Bella does the same thing with her food. Picks a few pieces up with her mouth, carries them to the next room and eats them there. Hilarious! I use cat treats as treats for Bella, but she eats “small bite” dog food. Her favorite treats are anything dairy and crackers. I didn’t know raw veggies were ok, we will try that out.

My boy chihuahua, Weezy, will not eat any green vegetables or dogfood but anything alse usually is devoured. Meow Mix is his day to day food. He carries 5 or 6 of the peices to a different room & eats them there . My friends chihuahua’s will only eat catfood also. Is this the norm? facebook.com/romylishous/

pork is as harmless to dogs as chicken, beef or any other meat, just take all necessary precautions in preparing it. like any meat, make sure its thoroughly cooked.

I was told by 2 different vets to never give dogs pork since they can’t digest it.
