As a tiny toy breed that originated in a warm climate, colder climates are
not the ideal setting for the Chihuahua. This, however, does not mean that you
can't own a Chihuahua if you live in Minnesota or (heaven forbid!) Canada. It
does mean, though, that you will need to equip your Chihuahua with some extra
small dog accessories to keep
him warm and comfortable when the weather is cold and snow is on the ground.
The following items can be purchased from your local pet store, or from a
plethora of online small dog
apparel and accessory web sites, including our
Dogs Central Dog Supply Store.
Your Chihuahua Will Need:
- A warm and cozy small dog bed
with a fleece blanket to cover him at night.
- A small dog coat that is
easy to apply and remove. Should be lined with faux fur, sherpa, fleece or
down-filled.
- Dog booties.
- An indoor dog litter
box or puppy pee pads. Chihuahuas can't be expected to go outdoors when
the snow is higher than they are, or when the weather is too stormy.
- A cozy small dog
carrier or small
dog tote bag can be a comfortable dog nest while you take him along with
you.
- A small dog collar and leash.
