Although the Chihuahua is a very good dog breed, it will inevitably need to be combed and cleaned. Use brushing gloves to brush off the dead hair on its body every day, which is conducive to the growth of new hair.

If your Chihuahua has a smooth coat, grooming it once a week can maintain its shiny appearance. A soft-bristled needle brush can comb it. But if your Chihuahua has long hair, then you have to groom it two to three times a week. Some owners of long-haired Chihuahuas are willing to take them to professional beauticians for grooming regularly, which can save them from daily grooming. This is a great idea, but you need to be careful to get your Chihuahua accustomed to this activity from a young age, otherwise it will cause a lot of stress for them.

Proper grooming also includes the Chihuahua’s eyes. To keep the eyes clean, you should regularly drop some eyewash solution into the Chihuahua's eyes and then wipe them gently with cotton. Because Chihuahuas’ eyes protrude, the secretions from their eyes can easily form tear stains, which is very obvious in light-colored Chihuahuas. Eye drops can reduce or remove tear stains in your Chihuahua. This work should be done once or twice a week.

Finally, don’t forget to trim and bathe your Chihuahua’s tail.

After all the above work is completed, you can keep your Chihuahua looking bright and beautiful for a long time.

Many breeders point out that long-haired Chihuahuas have a more gentle and elegant personality than short-haired Chihuahuas (although some people disagree). Generally, long-haired Chihuahuas require more frequent grooming than short-haired ones, and the feathers on their chests are easily stained and tangled. The hair on the buttocks, especially around the anus, should be cleaned in time. In order to reduce the adhesion of excrement and dirt, it is best to cut the hair near the anus short; or bathe them frequently. No matter what type of coat your Chihuahua has, regular brushing will keep their coat clean and tidy.
