Although we can talk about Short-haired Chihuahuas and of long hair , the maintenance in terms of nutrients is very similar.

They require good cosmetics that allow them to be bathed frequently and that provide them with the necessary nutrients to keep both their skin and coat in perfect balance.

This way, we prevent our Chihuahua from becoming dull, its color from fading, and its skin from starting to flake.

As a result, we may experience "horrible" shedding. This is one of the typical problems of this breed.

Hair loss is annoying for us but even more so for the dog itself.

BATHROOM

If we want to enjoy a dense, shiny, intensely colored coat, we must bathe it every two weeks with a good moisturizing shampoo.

We take advantage of the minutes in which the shampoo is acting to massage it with a good rubber brush .

This way, we help the dead hair to come loose.

For long-haired Chihuahuas, once the shampoo has been rinsed out, it's very important to use a good conditioner to help leave the coat soft and easy to manage when drying and brushing.

During the shedding season we bathe more frequently, at least once a week.

The warm water and our massage stimulate the skin and help the new coat grow stronger and faster.

This is a trick to dramatically speed up the shedding period.

Between baths we lightly spray a good moisturizing spray that does not get dirty in order to keep the level of hydration under control.

There are extraordinary ones that also give it a spectacular shine.

For long hair, we add shine and luminosity while controlling frizzy ends caused by static electricity.

By caring for the coat this way, we no longer have to worry about its color. We restore it without having to use harsh dyes.

NAILS AND EYES

It is very important cut nails frequently (after each bath).

Every day, in most cases, is very important clean those round eyes and their tear ducts with a good cleansing fluid. We recommend using the Eye Envy treatment.

How could we not take care of that intense gaze! Especially on the fairer ones?

BRUSHING

For him Daily brushing of short hair , I recommend using the Rubber brush . Pin brushes and brushes, no matter how good they are, don't help remove old hair, and if you persist, they can scratch your skin.

During shedding season or before a dog show, we can use the Ibáñez Trimming Blades or Pet Vaciator to remove some of the undercoat in the areas of interest.

We thus obtain a homogeneous layer of intense color and shine.

In it Brushing your long-haired Chihuahua we spray your usual moisturizing agent.

We ensure that the brush gently penetrates the skin and avoids breaking or pulling out that precious hair.

We use a soft bristle brush without ball at the tip.

To dry the coat after bathing, we use a card with very soft teeth.  so that the coat remains well open, fluffy and stretched.
