The world's smallest dog - with a big personality!
The Chihuahua never lets his small size get in his way. Proud, lively and full of himself, he likes to make his presence felt and never fails to be noticed. Very loyal, he can also be possessive with his owner. He needs to be well-trained to keep his strong character in check. Ideally adapted for life in a flat or apartment, he still needs exercise.
Slender head, ears pricked, sparkling eyes - the Chihuahua is also known for his unusual vital statistics: just 16 to 20cm tall at the shoulder, and weighing 1 to 2kg. This unique anatomy needs very individual care.
Royal Canin's specially formulated food for Chihuahuas focuses on these main areas:-
An indoor dog par excellence - Quite happy to live in an apartment, the Chihuahua will often behave like an indoors cat, and will even use a litter tray. While the waste may be small in size, a specially designed food will help limit the problem of odour.
Recognised cardiac sensitivity - While the Chihuahuas average life expectancy is around 13 years, many live beyond the age of 15. Clearly with age, cardio-respiratory
complaints become more frequent, characterized by a heart murmur and intolerance to effort.
A fussy appetite - Very close to his owner, the Chihuahua regularly receives treats from the table as well as his daily dog food, which has a tendency to make him more and more demanding.
