10 Secrets Only Owners of Healthy Chihuahuas Know (Number 7 Will Surprise You!)

Tiny, elegant, full of personality: the Chihuahua is one of the most beloved—and most misunderstood—dogs out there.

Tiny, elegant, full of personality: the Chihuahua is one of the most beloved—and most misunderstood—dogs out there. But only those who live with them truly know their secrets. Here they are, revealed one by one.

1. They’re Tiny Dogs… With a Massive Ego

They aren’t intimidated by bigger dogs. Sometimes you even have to “protect them from themselves.”

2. Cold Is Their Worst Enemy

Never go out without a sweater in winter: they shiver, and it’s not always fear!

3. There’s No Such Thing as a “Toy Chihuahua”

We’ll say it again: it’s just marketing. Beware of anyone selling a dog under this label.

4. Teeth Are Their Weak Spot

Tartar builds up fast. Regular brushing or dental chews are a must.

5. They Hate Being Alone

Despite seeming independent, they suffer from loneliness more than many other breeds.

6. They Don’t Eat As Much As You Think

Tiny stomachs = tiny portions. But watch the treats—they gain weight quickly!
