my sister is allergic to cats, rabbits, and some breed of dogs, b ut i want to buy 2 chihuahuas as pets. how can i tell if she will be allergic? i dont want to buy them and then she be allegic and we have to get rid of them. thanks.

if she is, is there any weay to stop the reaction.
There is no way she can be around them for very long as i do not know anyone who has them.

Can she be around chihuahuas before you buy them? Like where are you planning to get them and can she go with you to see if she has a reaction? There's really no other way to tell. She has to find out if she'll have a reaction to them by being around them. Or do you know anyone who already has some and would let you and your sister visit to test her allergies?

My chihuahuas' toys never last! We get them toys like ropes and loofa dogs, but an hour or two later, these brand new toys' stuffing is all over the place! I tried giving them rubber toys, but they take no interest to them.

Is there a toy out there that would last long through constant chewing and abuse, but is also soft and "indistructable"?

Try "Tuffies Dog Brand Toys" they arent made of rubber, but material, they are pretty strong.. they squeak also, but not so loud. i think it will be great for your chihuahua's

You can google it in the images and see what they look like.

I noticed my chihuahuas tongue sticking out and I thought it was cute, then I noticed her front top teeth are spaced and theres a bump thats pink with little black spots on it. The bump itself if small but I assume its cause shes a chihuahua. The rest of the roof of her mouth is a little red and inflamed. Im worried its cancer or a tumor or something, any ideas on what it is?
She's 5 years old so its not new teeth or anything like that.

this is really a no-brainer.

while it might just be an abcess, it COULD be cancer. take your dog to a VET!!

If you've ever been around Chihuahuas before, then you've probably seen them shiver and shake from being cold. The fact is that they get cold much easier than other dog breeds. However, keeping your Chihuahua warm is fairly simple if you use some common sense and follow some of the tips I suggest.

If your wondering why the Chihuahua breed gets colder than other dogs, it's because of their origin. The Chihuahua originated in the humid, warm climate of Chihuahua, Mexico. When they lived there, they didn't have much need for a thick coat or a defensive mechanism from the cold. However, once they ended up in other places across the world, they became vulnerable to the cold. In addition, because they are so small (actually the smallest breed in the world), their bodies become cold much quicker than the larger breeds do.

Keeping your Chihuahua warm will directly relate to weather and climate you have. Obviously if it's cold or snowing outside, they will need help staying warm. However, if it's warm and sunny, they should be fine.

One of the easiest and most efficient ways of keeping your Chihuahua warm is to buy them a warm shirt or sweater. When it gets cold, you should always make them wear it when they go outside. It will give them an extra layer of insulation between their bodies and the cold, allowing them to stay warm. Just be sure the shirt or sweater is comfortable, warm, and fits their body properly. If it is the wrong size, it can be uncomfortable for your Chihuahua to wear.

Another important method of keeping your Chihuahua warm is to be sure they don't stay wet when it's cold outside. If it's raining, or even snowing, their tiny little bodies can become drenched within minutes. This can cause their bodies to become very cold, very quickly. Take a towel and dry off your Chihuahua as soon as they come inside. If it's snowing outside, you may even want to shovel a path in the yard, so your Chihuahua doesn't have to walk in the cold snow.

Those are the best methods to use for the outside, but what about inside the home? Well, if you don't know by now, Chihuahuas love to burrow in blankets. It's in their nature to do so. So, get some warm blankets, make a nice area in their bed to sleep in, and lay some out in the living room. You may not see your Chihuahua for a while, but you will know they are warm when they are burrowed underneath the covers!

There are many owners who don't take the time to help keep their Chihuahuas warm. They think it's not their problem. However, as owners it's up to us to take care of them and give them a healthy and happy life.

Does anyone have any advice or can tell me how difficult or easy the procedure is for checking my precious dogs as baggage? I have 2 chihuahuas and will be relocating to Ohio in February and want our trip to be a smooth one.
Does anyone have any advice or can tell me how difficult or easy the procedure is for checking my precious dogs as baggage? I have 2 chihuahuas and will be relocating to Ohio in February and want our trip to be a smooth one. I'm looking for personal experiences.

You will NOT be able to "carry-on" two! NOR can 2 adult dogs go in one crate!
Shipping is no big deal-all airlines have free 800 numbers to talk PROS!
Must have approved crates,absorbent bedding,2 "coop-cups" & a health cert from the vet,including rabies cert. Health certs are only good for ten days-plan accordingly.

I have two chihuahuas @ 6 months, boy & girl, both fixed, current with shots, and they sleep in the same room where I sleep and keep the crib.

My plan is to move the two little rascals to the other living room before going into labor…. but after that how will I know my newborn is allergic to them? What kind of signs of allergic reactions should I look for? Please share, thanks!

ask your doctor, but dont wait for the baby to get allergic… precaution is better than care..

I read in a book about chihuahuas that they should not eat pork because they can not digest it. Is this true?

Completely false. Only possible problem with pork is that it is a little fatty so you wouldn't want to feed excess amounts.

Big "human" foods to avoid are grapes, raisins, onions, and of course chocolate. Here's a few more: http://www.peteducation.com/article.cfm?c=2+1659&aid=1030
