CHIHUAHUA VITAMINS ?????

HELLO FOLKS, I HAVE A 6 MONTH OLD FEMALE CHIHUAHUA WHITE....SHE WILL NOT EAT MUCH AT ALL...FINDING FOOD IS HARD....SHE WILL STARVE HERSELF BEFORE EATING DOG FOOD....I HAVE TRIED EVERY KIND...STARTING WITH SCIENCE DIET ON DOWN...SHE WILL EAT COTTAGE CHEESE SOME...LOVES VEGGIES OF ANY KIND...WILL EAT SOME CHICKEN...CRAZY ABOUT CESAR SALAD...????SHE IS FINIQUE....WHAT IS A GOOD ALL AROUND VITAMIN FOR HER...SHE DOESN'T EAT A LOT OF PROTEIN....SHE IS 4 POUNDS....

I fed my chihuahuas Purina Puppy Chow. Now of course when they got table scraps they thought they were too good to eat the dog food but after a day they would go back to eating it. Have you tried can food? I have a 9 week old puppy now and she loves her can dog food. It's some kind of special brand I got from the breeder to give her and then she told me any kind of Purina dog food is good for them. You might have to drizzle some kind of sauce on dog food to get her to eat. As far as a vitamin, I wasn't told to give her one, she's already had 3 shots and some worm treatments and I'll take her to my vet next month. You can check with your local vet about your little dear. Cat

Hey Cat I'm following you. I am over here lurking around and here you are. When I'm board I lurk around this whole site . Btty Boop60

That's what I do too! My chi is now 6 months old and she hardly wants her can food any more. She will eat some dry food when my daughter feed it to her by hand late at night. She's such a silly dog. Where we live, we have a hawk that's spotted her so we really have to keep an eye on her when she's outside. I like to keep her on a leash. Cat

Have you tried Royal Canin for Chihuahuas? I think petco sells it. you can get a free sample from their website (just google Royal Canin) so you don't waste money buying it before you know if your girl will like it. I got the free sample, and my chi just about scarfed it down without chewing he loved it so much.

There is a new purina brand dog food out for small breds, my 2 chi's love it! Their names are Roo and Oreo. Oreo decided to go on a trip of his own last week ( he got out of the gate) and I just got him back Monday....it was the most terrifying time in my life.... Anyway....try the the small breed brand...Oreo loves it

I got my boy on April 30th, from the pound. I was out looking at small dogs, knowing all I really wanted was a chihuahua, but my Dad didnt really want a chihuahua in the house because he cant stand them...I live with them while I am overweight. My Mom and I decided to look at the pound, you never know there are sometimes small dogs there. What do you think? They had a six year old chihuahua male that came available that day! My Mom went home and told Dad and he gave in, I brought my baby home three days later. He was fed IAMS in the pound but he didnt like it and would barely eat it. So I tried Purina Kibbles and Mini chunks, in a plastic jug. And he loves it! Loves it! He doesnt get scraps very often...every now and then a little taste, but he always eats his food. I have read that chihuahuas wont eat a whole lot at once...that they like to nibble a little all day. I have found this to be semi true, he eats some but throughout the day he will grab a bite or two in between his larger meal. They say low blood sugar can be a problem for small dogs so I am glad he does this. And he is not overweight at all weighing in at just under 5lbs.

Hi Janella, I Had a total of 4 chihuahua's I never gave any of them vitamins. However, I had/do feed them Eukanuba small breed. It is rather costly to some people, but for my babies this is all I feed them. It has NO fillers in it, thus you only need to give them a small amount. It contains ALL the vitamins a chic or any other 4-legged babe needs. Also, because you don't have the fillers in the food, the babes b.m. (bowel movement) is sooo much smaller I had a male for 16 years prior to his passing. I could'nt stand losing my cola, thus after two wks, I went out & got another I called him Smokie (6 lbs now) he is 4 years old now. 2 years after having smokie, I got my Girly-girl (5 lbs now), she is 2 now & last year I went out & got Pepae (boy) he is 15 months old (he will be lucky to weigh 3 to 3 1/2 lbs. full grown). I told myself I will NEVER have one baby again too tramatic. Anyway they will only eat 1/4 cup (Smokie & Girly-girl once a day. Pepae still eats twice a day, but he is weaning off the 2 meals now by his choice). I never ever gave my babies table food (made them have too much flatus Another brand similar to Eukanuba is Iams (same company runs both brands) it is cheaper with much less fillers than regular dog food (it also comes in "mini chunks" for small breeds. If you continue to give your baby the lesser brands ask your Vet for what vits you should give your baby. Warning..... to those with Chihuahua's NEVER NEVER give them pork this will give this breed the bloody runs Hope I've been of some help J-Lo
