About this deal

When it comes to their coat Chihuahuas can either be smooth coated or long coated with hair that is soft to the touch and which has a natural sheen. Undercoats and ruffs are allowed as a breed standard. These tiny dogs come in a lot of colours and the only one that is never allowed is "merle". Acceptable colours include the following: So, you might be thinking to yourself, why does my Chihuahua need a muzzle? Here’s what you need to know. Incident Prevention Chihuahuas are thought to be the only domestic breed of dog indigenous to the continent of America. For trips to the grooming salon or vet, you can’t go wrong with the Petneces Dog Muzzle. With a design catered specifically to tiny Chihuahua dogs, the mesh design with an eye cover will prevent biting and barking without impeding your pet’s vision. The breathable nylon offers superior ventilation so your pet won’t get overheated, while the cushioned bumpers will prevent irritation to the Chihuahua’s tiny nose. They are quite wary and cautious by nature but when they get to know a person they are fine around them. They are known to size up a situation or person which is a "self-preservation" trait seen in many of the breed. They are also known to have a bit of a stubborn streak in them. However when well socialised and correctly trained these little dogs become loyal and loving companions that are a joy to have around.

These types of muzzles should be used for very limited amounts of time or during emergencies. Don’t use these types of muzzles an everyday basis. Instead, opt for a basket-style muzzle for extended use. Only Use Muzzles When You Can Supervise Basket muzzles are not only a valuable tool for bite prevention but an excellent choice that your Chi can wear for more extended periods such as walks or training sessions. Basket muzzles have enough space between the muzzle bars that your Chi can pant, drink, and eat as needed, which minimizes their frustration and anxiety as they get used to the device. From plastic muzzles to wire versions, basket muzzles are the most versatile choice for dog owners. Soft Muzzle At this point, you can start putting the muzzle on your Chi, but don’t close it. Put it on and take it off again, then offer a treat right away.There are two main types of muzzles and by making sure you get the right style and fit, you will ensure safe and effective use. You can also make a homemade muzzle in an emergency if there is no other choice. Here are some options. Basket muzzle Take several training sessions to let your Chi tough the muzzle with their nose, before offering them a treat. By doing so, you begin instilling a strong association between the muzzle and treat time. Chihuahuas like having company around whether it's a person or the company of another dog and ideally that of another Chi. If left on their own for any length of time they are prone to suffering from separation anxiety which can result in dogs being destructive around the home. It is also worth noting that males are just as affectionate and loyal as their female counterparts. Are they a good choice for first time dog owners?

Naturally, the number one reason that comes to mind when considering why you would need a muzzle for your Chi is to prevent an incident. Even if your dog doesn’t regularly display signs of aggression, unpredictable situations can sometimes lead to unexpected bite and snapping events. For example, if your Chi is injured, and you take them to the vet, their pain and anxiety could make them bite at the technicians. If your canine companion tends to nip or bite, or if they chew on things they shouldn’t be chewing on, the best choice is going to be a basket style. Although, if they are extremely persistent, a strap or sheath style would be your plan B. Basket muzzles can be worn for much longer periods, because they allow more breathability and they don’t stop your dog from panting.Grooming tools which should include a good quality puppy tooth brush and toothpaste that's specifically formulated for young dogs When using the muzzle to prevent aggression or biting, it is important to use it correctly and in conjunction with other training techniques.
