Chihuahua Health Picture
Chihuahua Health Picture means a Chihuahua who is the picture of health! In other words, a healthy Chihuahua is a happy Chihuahua!
Chihuahuas are naturally healthy and happy! A complete guide to Chihuahua health is not possible here, but we hope some of the following helps a bit.
Of course, it's usually the "owner" (who really owns whom?) that determines whether a dog is healthy and happy or is miserable and unhealthy.
It’s so tempting to feed your cute little Chihuahua a bit of anything we eat.
Most of us don’t exactly have the fit and trim body that our pet should have, so it’s really not a very good idea to feed them the same foods (and relative amounts) we feed ourselves. So, limiting the treats will ultimately help keep your little Chi healthy and happy! We use Iams small dog food, but regular size dog food will do just fine. It just seems so big for such a small dog, so we get the small mini-chunk sized food.
It makes Yoda feel like a big dog!
We also try not to make drastic changes in Yoda's diet so he can have a routine, and dogs love routine. When your little dog’s digestion is working properly, you’ll love the routine also! You might like to take a look at a website we found, http://www.all-natural-dog-treat.com/All-natural-dog-treats.html that shows you how to make healthy dog treats yourself, and has a lot more information about healthy eating for your pet.
Chihuahuas in general seem to enjoy long life and good health, but then again there can be times where the poor little guy gets sick. Not a pretty Chihuahua health picture. Fortunately for us (and him!) Yoda has never gotten sick.
We've only needed the normal vet-suggested prescriptions for flea medicine which they tell us to use twice a year (Yoda hasn't ever had fleas, and we only use it once a year...shhh!...don't tell the vet!). 
Now for the fun part of a Chihuahua Health Picture…take a little detour to my page devoted to
Chihuahua exercise!
So go ahead, walk with your little dog, feed him/her right, and enjoy the love of a healthy Chihuahua!
