Just like humans, dogs are also at increased risk of aggravating their condition if they are not given proper diet. Processed foods with refined sugar, high fat foods can worsen your dog’s diabetes and may even result in his death. Hence, as soon as your dog has been diagnosed with diabetes, take immediate steps to alter his diet to control sugar levels. Carbohydrate intake should be reduced, as they directly get converted into glucose or sugar. Your vet should be able to guide you regarding what foods are permissible for your dog and what should be avoided. Some vets may recommend good commercial diabetic dog foods while a few may have their own products especially formulated for diabetic dogs.

Nonetheless, if you decide to feed your dog only homemade food, you can still manage to lower his blood sugar levels by making appropriate changes to his diet. Here is what you can do about your dog’s diet.
•Feed him lots of fresh fruits and raw vegetables. Raw foods stimulate pancreas to produce insulin better than processed foods. Vegetables such as alpha sprouts, parsley, carrots, green beans, broccoli cauliflower can be given raw. Some others like winter squash, dandelion greens, potatoes can be cooked. These vegetables are really good for diabetic dogs. While giving fruits, one must make sure that you do not combine main meals such as meats, grains with fruits. They can best serve as mid-meal snacks.
•Give your dog lots of garlic, either fresh or in capsule form. Garlic is a great remedy for high sugar levels. Besides, it also regulates digestive function in dogs.
•While it is alright to give raw meat, make sure it is lean and hygienic. Chicken, lean turkey, lean pork can be fed. Stay away from ground beef and any other types of red meat.
•Incorporate lots of dairy products such as low fat cottage cheese, yogurt etc. Milk products and vegetables reduce acid levels due to their alkaline properties.
•Fish and eggs can be given raw. Again make sure it is hygienic.
•Also include whole grains such as pearl barley, brown rice etc.

Patience and perseverance are the two golden words for any owner who is thinking of training a chihuahua puppy. These dogs are temperamental and a bit stubborn so you need to be very patient and consistent with your training methods. Let us now concentrate on chihuahua puppy care.

Chihuahua puppies are so small and delicate, that you will require extra precautions for its proper care. Remember, start training them as early as possible. This will make it easy for you to make them obedient as they grow. Never, ever hurt your puppy. Punishment or frightening the little pup will never get you far with the training. Before you bring home the new pup, make sure you prepare an inviting and welcoming environment for the pet. Provide the pup with a sleeping bed/crate, dog toys, food and water bowl placed nearby in an easily accessible place, etc. Select a suitable place like a bathroom, tray or backyard area for potty.

When you bring home the pup, make sure you have secured him with a body harness and not a lease. These dogs are tiny and leashes may strangle the tiny dog. Bring the pup to his sleeping crate or bed and allow him to sniff around. Let him explore his surroundings and become comfortable. Feed the pup 4 small meals/ day for the first 6 months of his life. The pups have a small stomach, but very fast metabolism. Therefore, make sure they do not go hungry as they are prone to developing hypoglycemia. After 6 months to a year, feed him 3 meals/per day. Once it is old enough the pup should be given 2 full meals/ per day. Never give them human food or high protein food. Provide clean water at all times for drinking.

Chihuahua pups are vulnerable to cold. They tend to release a lot of body heat due to their fast metabolism. Thus, make sure you make them wear warm t-shirts or sweaters and even boots to keep them snug. If you find your tiny pup trembling, it means the dog is under stress, feeling cold or very excited. Take actions accordingly and make the pup feel comfortable. An important part of chihuahua pup care is to become the pack leader. The pup should be taught from the very start that you and you alone are the alpha dog of the pack. The pup is supposed to be following your commands and not vice versa. Do not bow down to any of its dominant behavior antics like growling, pulling on the harness, or disobeying a command. This cute dog has a mind of its own and should be controlled at all times. If you do not train him from the very start, you will have a disobedient, aggressive dog on your hands.

Chihuahua pups should be socialized from the very start. Take them for walks in the park, allow them to meet other people as well as children. Introduce the puppy to new surroundings, people as well as sights. This will make him more adaptable and less aggressive or wary of strangers. Daily walks and a game of chase ball will be beneficial for the dog’s overall health. Once every six weeks, bathe your chihuahua pup. Brush his coat lightly once a week and clean his ears as well as eyes regularly. Nail trimming once a while is a good idea. Read the rest of this entry »
