A shampoo and a conditioner are maybe the most important Chihuahua supplies to keep your pup clean all the time. Usually such products last a long time and are appropriate for all kinds of dogs. Make sure before you use them to read the directions first. Usually you have to massage your pup for about five minutes with the shampoo then another five minutes with the conditioner. It will get a lot of fur from your pup and will leave it with very soft and shiny skin and a nice smell. It is good to use both the shampoo and the conditioner every time you clean your chi.

A dog bristle brush is also useful. It is very effective in removing loose hair and debris from your pet. You should try and find a brush suited for small dogs since Chihuahuas are very small and sensitive. When using a brush you should try long strokes in the direction of the hair growth of your pup. Keep in mind that every time you brushing your chi a distribution of natural oils occurs, that leaves a shiny and healthy coat to your pup. Of course brushes get worn out quickly depending on the number of pets you have and how much you use it. So it will be good to buy also many replacement brushes!

Chihuahua toothpaste is a great way to keep your pups teeth clean. You should get your chi’s teeth brushed about five times per week usually every time after their dinner meal. The result will be bright, clean teeth with no tartar build-up and no problems with bad breath. Such products are highly recommended as a simple way for maintaining your Chihuahua’s dental care and minimizing costly vet bills. There are even some researchers who are referring that brushing your chi’s teeth could actually help prolong his life by two to three years.

Along with your chi’s toothpaste goes an appropriate soft toothbrush designed mainly for small dogs. A toothbrush is perfect to clean all sides of your chi’s teeth. Buy one that has bristles made for pets to reach the gum line with small pressure on the sensitive gums. Mainly it should be designed for comfort and ease and it should include a matching cover to keep it clean from bacteria.

Nail clippers for your Chihuahua should help a lot with nail trimming. That process should be a regular part of your pup grooming. It is important for your chi’s health to keep the nails properly trimmed. Buy one nail clipper with a sharp cutting edge, made from stainless steel which will last for long time. It should be best suited for small Chihuahuas and you should use it immediately after bathing your pet. It will be nice if it has a safety stop to prevent injury.

The usual sizes for chi sweaters are many. Mini for very small Chihuahuas that weight under 3lbs. XXSmall for teacups and toys that weight between three to five pounds.  X-Small for pups that weight about five to seven pounds and are up to eight inches. Small for chi’s that weight about six to eight pounds and are between eight to twelve inches. Medium size for Chihuahuas that weight over eight pounds and are between 12 to 16 inches. If you want to measure your chi to find out his appropriate size you should take length measurements that start from your chi’s neck to the base of his tail.

Shorthaired Chihuahuas look really nice but need extra protection from cold weather. This kind of chi’s have very little body fat resulting them being less protected from harsh weather conditions. So if it happens to have a shorthaired chi you should really consider buying a warm sweater.

Remember Chihuahuas are like little kids. They need love and protection and that takes commitment, time, energy and money. If you are serious about owning a Chihuahua you must care about it and be there for it and cover his needs. If your chi is outside in the cold without a Chihuahua sweater ugly things could happen like catching a simple cold or getting an even more serious health problem.

Your collar should have a ring for attaching a leash to it. It should be made by leather or other safe fabric and it should be flat. Adult Chihuahuas may not grow very fast but the young ones really do! So every five to ten days you can check if it still fits correctly to your chi. Don’t be shocked if you find out that you should change your chi’s collar about two or even more times until your chi is fully grown up!

For your chi’s leash you should go and buy one that is about five to six feet long. Any fabric that is flexible enough will do. There are some expandable leashes that give the freedom to your pet to run away several feet from you. These are very nice because they give your chi the opportunity to move and play around while in the same time you control its actions and keep it safe especially in places with many other people around.

Also you should never consider buying a leash that is made by chain. Chain could be dangerous for your Chihuahua because it can hurt its legs if it gets around them. Also don’t buy a training collar that has a ring at both sides of it. Such collars tighten up when your chi runs away. These training collars should be used only for training not for everyday use so avoid them too.

Your chi should have identification on it all the time because it could get lost. That identification could take many forms like microchips or tattoos. You should prefer a collar tag along with these because it will provide extra security just in case anything goes wrong.

As you see Chihuahua collars and leashes are very important accessories for safety, practical and stylish reasons and you should take some time to find the appropriate ones for your favourite pup.
