Our Information
Caring for Puppies
Chihuahua Puppies, once 6 months old, are hardy little dogs. Until the Chihuahua puppy reaches this age, you will need to take special precautions to keep your puppy happy and healthy. The tinier the chihuahua puppy you purchase the less room for error you will have in its care.
CHihuahua puppies should have a pet safe a heating pad which will maintain a low heat. It may also be needed in the summer indoors if you keep your air conditioning on and set below 72 degrees.
NAP TIME "Just one more kiss, then the baby needs to rest."
It is important for tiny Chihuahua puppies to have plenty of rest as well as exercise. Because puppies love to play so much, just like with growing children, they can get over-stimulated and not know when to rest. Make sure your Chihuahua puppies takes 2 hours of rest for every 1 hour of play in the first weeks home.
NUTRICAL
Smaller Chihuahua puppies can burn up more calories faster then they take in and this can lead to low blood sugar.
Give an inch of NUTRICAL mid day.
YOUR NEW CHIHUAHUA PUPPY NEEDS PEACE AND QUIET for the first month in his new environment. Constant running around and excitement will wear your puppy out and you will end up with a health crisis.
Always make sure that your Chihuahua puppy has a place to call his own. Make sure the puppy has his own toys, blanket and bed in a quiet area he can rest and feel safe and secure. Chihuahua puppies should rest for 2 hours for every 1-2 hours of play. His area should not be drafty. Do not place his area near a fan, vent, or near a door. His area should not be located near a furnace nor near a fireplace.
DO NOT LET CHILDREN CARRY TIny CHIHUAHUA PUPPIES AROUND TOO MUCH
Let the puppy explore a little bit at a time. A tiny puppy, often called "teacup puppy" may be small but will still like to walk around and have his feet on the ground! Do not let the puppy have full run of the home as he will tire and grow weak. Do not allow a loving child may want to carry the Chihuahua puppy all around as it can cause motion sickness and lack of appetite. How would you like to be on a constantly moving "ride" much of the time?
SOCIALIZATION
All Chihuahua puppies born in our home and are socialized from birth with limited daily interaction. I am always with the mothers during their births. My girls always find comfort with me being there with them. Daily handling of puppies everyday is important to bond with them and make sure they are healthy and getting enough to eat.
FLEA MEDICATION
NO flea medicines given by mouth!
You can use Frontline or Advantage on the nap of neck every 3 months rather than monthly.
WARNING! Do not use over the counter flea topical's as the ingredients in them can cause seizures in dogs and cats.
RABIES WARNING: Please wait 2 full months after the puppyshots are finished before giving RABIES to your Chihuahua puppy..
There may be a link between Rabies and Distemper given close together causing neuro signs and death.
The rabies vaccine given close to a yearly BOOSTER may be dangerous. My own idea is that the modified live DISTEMPER (a neuro disease) somehow combines with the RABIES vaccine. (Also a neuro disease.)
If you have had a bad experience happen with Rabies, that it was given at the same time or close to as another dog vaccine, please email me as I have been doing research on this for the last few years.

Hannah is safely here and she is absolutely beautiful! We met her with meat sticks, Esbilac, Nutrical, & water which she happily took.
She is now in her little pen in the kitchen with the others looking on. It is on top of the kitchen table (we are right there of course). The others were looking on and Hannah surveyed the group and then let out a bark. Guess she told them.
Seriously, we are so happy with her and the best part of all is that Richard is crazy about her. I am so glad about that and I have a feeling that he will steal her away.
Thank you for another beautiful puppy!!
Kim and Richard

subjectRe: Finally we are home!Hi Debra,
Boy...he's a pistol! We absolutely are in love with the little guy! My vet took him around to show everybody at the office because he said he's the cutest puppy ever!
He got his shot and the fecal came back clean. He's now eating dry food and drinking water out of his little bowls. I am still giving him Nutrical daily until he gets a little older.
He already acts like he rules the roost! He is super smart! He has learned that when I say "let's go pottywoggles" he runs to his wee pad. He also knows when I say "Daddy's home" he runs to the puppy gate to greet Matt.
I'll send you some pics soon...he's filling out a little, but is still so cute and tiny.
Take Care!

Hi Debra,
We are all fine, Both puppies are eating chicken, meat sticks and rice cereal. Not much luck with sooked dry food.
I had ordered the Nuvet quite a long while ago; I had wanted to give it to the Pom I rescued.
The vet thought that little Thumblina had quite the personality, ready to take on the world were his words. She is so inquisitive and playful. The two puppies are separated during the day as we take them to work with us. So in the evening when they are back together they are real terrors as the wrestle and run.
I did not get their shots at the vet visit, I am terrified as my last Chi went into shock and I rushed him back to the vet. I know they need them soon but I hope it is ok to let them get more accustombed to thier new home and routine.
It was great to meet you when we picked them up. The puppies were real troopers for the long 8 hour drive home.
Christina
