Can a male chihuahua be neutered?
i kno ill sound stupid saying this but........what does nuetering your dog mean......i never knew......can someone tell me =(
They make much better pets when they are neutered. They do not mark ( pee on things) in your home if neutered early enough in life. They will get along better with people and other male dogs. Not to mention there are many 1000's of homeless chis killed every year as there are not enough homes for them all. Serena Chihuahua & Toy Breed Rescue www.crar.org
How to get a chihuahua potty trained?
Okay, I' guessing it is a puppy so this is what you should do: at first, the puppy shouldn't be allowed into the garden until it has at least had its first injection. you should have newspaper down in everyroom which the puppy is allowed- also have one by the front and back door. Use a simple command such as do wee's everytime the puppy goes on the paper. (even of they don't go to toliet) Dont fprce the puppy to pee as ti will just get uncomfertable, you also have to remember it may go to toliert on the paper one, but that doesn't mean it will remember the next day! If the puppy goes to toliet anywhere other than the mat, don't get really cross, use an easy word like "AHH" and use it in harsh tones. Then pick up the puppy and put it straight on the paper and after into a crate/cage which it should already have - don't think of i so much as a punishment for the pup, but a cage/crate is where it escapes from people and feels sercure. If you are still have trouble training the puppy with the command etc. buy some training pads, they can be bought at most pet shops and work dreams. The scent attract the puppy to go to the toliet- hope this helps.

You make her a bed , and a clean environment. Let her clean up the puppies herself. Then give her a doggie bed and she cuddle and feed the puppies herself. When they are about 6 weeks old, take the puupies to the vet so they can have their first puppy shots. Call your vet office first. And they will give them parvo shots, very important do not take your mommy dog to the park or have any oyher contact with other dogs, because the puupies can get parvo and they will die.

What will happen if your dog eats almonds?
The humane society publishes a list of foods that are unsafe for dogs to eat, and the only two nuts on the list are walnuts and macadamia nuts. Feeding a dog as few as four macadamia nuts, depending upon the dog's size, can cause neurological symptoms such as muscle weakness, tremors and even paralysis. Walnuts can cause stomach upset in dogs and moldy ones that contain mycotoxins cause tremors in dogs. These two nuts are a definite "no-no" for all dogs.
Does this mean dog scan eat almonds since they're not on the list? Even though almonds aren't toxic to dogs, there are some good reasons to avoid giving your dog this nutty treat. Nuts of all types, including almonds, are on the list of foods that cause stomach upset in dogs.
Nuts are rich in monounsaturated fats, which are healthy for humans, but too much fat of any kind increases the risk of pancreatitis in dogs. Pancreatitis can be fatal to your canine best friend, so it's best to stay from nuts and fatty human foods. Giving your dog food high in fats may earn you a few tail wags, but it could have bad long-term health consequences.
Another reason not to give your dog almonds or other nuts is they can get caught in their throat or intestines, causing an intestinal obstruction that could require surgery. Who wants to put a dog through that?
Almonds aren't directly toxic to dogs like walnuts and macadamia nuts, but they do increase the risk of pancreatitis and intestinal obstruction. Almonds are a heart-healthy snack for humans, but if your dog loves them too, buy some organic peanut butter dog cookies to satisfy your dogs need for a treat. It's a safer option.
