How much does a small pet dog Chihuahua cost? Feeding methods and male-female differences

As one of the cutest dogs among pets, the Chihuahua has always been a big favorite for everyone to keep. But because it is hard to tame, it also gives many owners a headache. Especially with the wide variety of prices on the market, it is impossible to keep them under control. Here I have put together some common knowledge for feeding Chihuahuas, as well as information on Chihuahua market prices.

1. The market price of Chihuahuas in real life

First of all, the dog breeds at the dog market are too mixed, and as for whether they are purebred or not, there is simply no way to tell clearly, and it is also unknown whether the various vaccines and deworming have been done or not, so the chance of dogs catching infectious diseases is also relatively high. Therefore, I remind all dog dads and dog moms that you must go to professional websites, or professional kennels, or professional pet stores, to buy your beloved Chihuahua.

2. The price of Chihuahuas in pet stores

Generally, the price of Chihuahuas seen on the market ranges from 100 yuan to 1,000 yuan; if bought at a pet store, you can still feel relatively reassured about the health aspect, and the price also ranges from 1,000 yuan to 3,000 yuan. Although the price is more expensive than buying on the market, it can effectively guarantee the health of the Chihuahua;

3. The price of Chihuahuas on professional pet websites

But now many people are very keen on buying dogs online, and now many pet dog trading platforms are very popular, offering more guarantees than buying on the market. This is mainly shown in that Chihuahuas bought online will come with a pedigree certificate and a health guarantee.

This practice can effectively guarantee the legitimate rights and interests of dog dads and dog moms, so it is also a very popular way of choosing and buying. If there is a problem, you go directly to the person in charge. Generally, the price on pet trading platforms is about 2,000 yuan to 4,000 yuan. Although the price is expensive, it is a reassuring purchase.

4. Common knowledge for feeding Chihuahuas

1. Differences between the sexes

Owners must think it through when choosing a Chihuahua, and then make their choice. Generally, male Chihuahuas are especially competitive and disobedient. Sometimes, when they meet a child they do not like, or another of their own kind, they will express their emotions by barking, very intensely. Sometimes they will also do some out-of-line things. Female Chihuahuas, however, are more gentle in temperament, will not easily attack people and other small animals, and are easier to get close to.

2. Feeding and management methods

Hygiene aspect

Although Chihuahuas often move around at home, you must still pay attention to cleaning. It must be bathed at least once a month. If you have a long-haired Chihuahua, it should be bathed more often, and cleaning the ears is especially important; the coat also needs to be brushed often; another thing to remind owners of is that a Chihuahua's nails grow especially fast and are very sharp and thin, so the nails must be trimmed regularly.

Food aspect

Hygiene must be guaranteed, and freshness too; tableware must be kept clean and hygienic, and drinking water also needs to be clean; because Chihuahuas are naturally small eaters but have a fast metabolism, they get hungry easily, which requires owners to increase the number of feedings; the feed can mainly be dry feed, appropriately paired with wet feed;

You can give it fresh meat every day, between 60 grams and 90 grams. For slightly larger Chihuahuas, you can give them about 150 grams of meat per day, plus other vegetables and biscuits. The meat must be cooked;

Environment aspect

The space requirements for the living environment are not high. It is very small itself, so just arrange a cozy doghouse for it.
