Donate Those Old, Unused Chihuahua Clothes

Happy Holidays everyone!

I recently received a touching email from an organization that has a wonderful idea to help shelter dogs. They are collecting old dog sweaters from people and donating them to animal shelters in order to keep the dogs nice and warm in the winter months ahead.

This is a great idea and it is worth checking out. The chihuahua clothes will fit small toy shelter dogs that need them. If you have old and unused dog sweaters, please do not throw them out, donate them to the below organization:

Chihuahua Treats

I have been receiving a lot of email and tweets asking about what good, healthy chihuahua treats are safe for their dogs. I have been asked about various brands and flavors and what my chihuahuas like to eat. My response has been very simple. I do not buy treats for my dogs. This does not mean that I do not reward my chihuahuas for being good, or for going to the bathroom outside, I do reward them. Instead of buying expensive and sometimes unhealthy treats, I use their dry kibble as chihuahua treats.

You heard me right, their dog food is their treats. I will usually give them one piece of kibble as a reward for doing something good, like letting us know that they need to go outside by going to the door, and for performing tricks correctly. The best part is that they love getting treats and they don't care that they are not getting different or name brand dog treats to eat.

We decided to go this rout a few years back. It was just a way of saving as much money as we can. Those dog treats can add up monitarily every month. We can use that money to go to other ways of spoiling our dogs.

So, if you are looking for a cheap chihuahua treat, use their dry dog kibble!

Happy holidays!
