Do Chihuahuas need special dog food?
Well, yes and no. They have the same nutritional needs as other dogs in proportion to their size. However, they have very small mouths and teeth so they can’t handle large nuggets very well. We strongly recommend that you avoid mass-produced commercial brands of dog food. Even many of the premium gourmet brands contain all kinds of dangerous and disgusting ingredients that you really don’t want to feed your dog. Chihuahuas prefer a few small meals daily, rather than one big meal We leave a small bowl of dry food out for our Chihuahuas in addition to two small prepared meals each day.
