Start by taking your Chihuahua to regular veterinary appointments to make sure they are healthy and screened for potential health problems. Like many pure bred dog breeds, Chihuahuas are prone to unique health problems. According to the Veterinary Centers of America , Chihuahuas can be prone to obesity, which may go unnoticed if they have a longer coat. Like many small dog breeds, Chihuahuas can also be prone to hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar.
Frequent meals may be necessary to counteract blood sugar crashes. Other common Chihuahua health issues include urinary stones, luxating patellas, and cancer.
When the worst happens, the last thing that should affect your ability to care for your beloved dog properly is medical expenses, which is why pet insurance is a life-saver.
