Chihuahua Clothes

Often owners want to treat their Chihuahua with something yummy and nice, and it’s quite normal as we all love our pets and want them to feel good. But sometimes we can make the wrong choices and hurt them instead. Many dog foods have been recalled, because of the junk they have been putting in food which cuts our pets lives. It might be a good idea to buy a few dog recipe books, so that you could mix the dry good quality dog food, with some home cooked.

Some foods might be quite ok for humans, and even other species of animals, but these can pose hazards for dogs because of their different metabolism. Here you can read the list of foods you shouldn’t treat your Chihuahua with (of course, it’s incomplete as there are plenty more stuff you shouldn’t give your dog):
