Best Treats for Chihuahuas
Tiny dog, tiny treats — soft, small, and simple keeps a Chihuahua thriving.
Chihuahuas are the smallest of dogs with some of the biggest personalities — and their tiny size shapes everything about how you should treat them. Small breeds can be prone to low blood sugar and dental issues, so soft, small, frequent, and clean is the rule.
Think tiny. A treat that's a light snack for a big dog can be a huge share of a Chihuahua's daily calories. Break treats into very small pieces — a little goes a long way.
Soft on tiny teeth. Chihuahuas are prone to dental problems, so softer or easily-broken treats are kinder than hard, dense chews.
Simple and clean. A small, sensitive dog does best with single-ingredient treats — nothing artificial, nothing to upset a delicate tummy. When in doubt about a food, our can-my-pet-eat guide has the common ones: everypethaven.com/blog/can-my-pet-eat/.
That's exactly what we make at EveryPetHaven Kitchen: fresh, gently-dehydrated, single-ingredient treats in cuts sized for the pet — soft training bites for little mouths, bigger chews for big dogs. Every bag lists its net weight, so you always know what you're giving. We're launching on Kickstarter; join the list at everypethaven.com/kickstarter.
General guidance only — ask your vet about your dog's specific needs, especially with allergies or a health condition.
