At just over six inches high and up to six pounds, the Chihuahua is one of the smallest of the purebred dogs. Some historians trace its heritage back to Aztec society, where it was venerated as the subject of a cult and thought to bring good luck to the home. The special physiology of the Chihuahua make it a very unusual breed that needs special attention, especially in terms of its nutrition. FUSSY SMALL DOG Guaranteed to be Exceptionally Tasty Because they are sensitive or simply fussy, some Chihuahuas are picky and may refuse to eat their food. The Chihuahua is especially demanding because its sense of smell is less well-developed than that of a larger breed dog - the small area of olfactory membranes means that it has fewer receptor cells. Chihuahua 28™ stimulates the Chihuahua's delicate appetite through an exclusive formula of high-quality proteins and natural flavors. Controlled atmosphere packaging ensures that the product will retain its freshness and taste. CARDIAC FUNCTION Keep the Heart Working Properly Heart disorders are more frequent in the Chihuahua than in other breeds. This sensitivity increases with age: the average life expectancy of a Chihuahua is over 13 years and it is not uncommon to see one that is older. Chihuahua 28™ contains L-Carnitine, a synergistic complex of antioxidants (Vitamins E, C, Lutein, Taurine and Green Tea Polyphenols) and only a moderate level of sodium. STOOL ODOR RELIEF Optimize the Quantity and Odor of the Stools The Chihuahua is the ideal indoor dog and it often lives in apartments - it may even use a litterbox. Although they produce only a small amount of feces, it is important to limit unpleasant odors caused by this type of lifestyle. Chihuahua 28™ is formulated to reduce the quantity and odor of the stool with fructo-oligosaccharides to help maintain balanced intestinal flora, Rice - the most digestible source of starch, insoluble minerals that absorb extra moisture and high quality protein. FOR OPTIMAL DENTAL HYGIENE Because the Chihuahua has small delicate jaws, it has increased mouth and tooth sensitivity related to dental plaque deposits and tartar formation. This results in an inflammation of the gums, or even loosening of the teeth. Moreover, because Chihuahuas are long-lived, dental plaque deposition accentuates with age. TARTAR REDUCTION is an innovation that helps preserve bucco-dental hygiene. CHIHUAHUA 28™ kibbles have this benefit: their texture has been specially designed to produce a brushing effect, reducing dental plaque formation. The formula also includes captors, which by fixing the calcium present in the saliva, slow tartar development. For adult Chihuahua, food may be served right from the bag or moistened with warm water, if desired. For puppies, we recommend MINI Babydog 30™ up to 8 weeks of age and then MINI Puppy 33™ up to 8 months of age and thereafter MINI Chihuahua 28™ for life. Always remember to provide your pet with clean, fresh water at all times. For your pet's health, see your veterinarian regularly.
