The chihuahua is one of the world’s smallest dogs. These little pets need special care, especially if you purchased one of the extra-tiny or teacup puppies. These small puppies can be as fragile and vulnerable as a premature newborn baby and need plenty of love and care to get them through. Without proper care and attention your puppy can suffer from Hypoglycemia, dehydration, etc. Make sure to supply them with plenty of food and water. For the first four months make sure they are feed every 4 hours. With the proper amount of of LOVE and CARING your dog can live over 20 years!

     Instructions for Tiny and Toy Breed Puppies:

     Feeding instructions: Use your choice of dry and wet dog food, preferably puppy food. Mix the dry and wet food at a 50/50 ratio. In about 90 days start feeding dry food only. Make sure the puppy has food and water close at all times.

     Rest: Make sure your puppy gets plenty of rest. Don’t let him or her play for too long of periods of time. Fifteen minutes should be the maximum for handling and play for the first 2 weeks. Leave them alone so they will rest and eat, while you are with them his/her attention will be on you and not caring for itself.

     Lethargic: If your puppy becomes lethargic, give it 3 teaspoons full of honey, karo syrup, or maple syrup. This will help raise the puppy’s blood sugar level. If symptoms continue call or take the puppy to the vet immediately.

Sleeping and Living Conditions: Give your puppy a clean, dry, and warm place to sleep. These little guys like to sleep on something soft. They also like to burrow themselves in covers.
