How to extend the life of your Chihuahua
Methods to extend the life of a Chihuahua:
1. Improve the living environment. After entering old age, the dog's waist and legs will become weaker. Steps should be placed on the ground with a drop, and non-slip mats should be laid in the room where the dog enters and exits to minimize the possibility of injury to the dog. Dogs with reduced vision should try not to move furniture because they have become accustomed to the home environment, and they should also maintain a comfortable temperature in the room.
2. Ensure daily nutrition. According to the dog's hunger constitution and its own actual situation, a reasonable and scientific feeding plan is formulated to cultivate Chihuahua. Choose healthy food, such as pet nutrition paste, that is balanced, rich, and easy for dogs to absorb and digest.
3. Exercise moderately. No matter at any time, Chihuahuas should be given a moderate amount of exercise, and older dogs should exercise more, but they should ensure that they do not increase the burden on the heart and the weakening waist and legs. Walking is the best way to exercise, and the walking speed should be slowed down. If you find that your dog is tired, take a rest.
4. Regular care. Chihuahuas must be groomed regularly, and owners should pay attention to regular deworming, immunization, cleaning and other tasks for their dogs. During the maintenance process, the owner may encounter the Chihuahua getting sick or injured. If the dog is found to be sick or injured, it should be treated scientifically immediately.
5. Avoid being at home alone. Older dogs need the company of their owners even more. Usually, the older the Chihuahua, the more afraid they are of being alone and more likely to suffer from anxiety. Therefore, owners should try to avoid leaving Chihuahuas alone at home for long periods of time, and should spend more time with them, care for them more, and make them feel happy, so that they can live longer.
