Have you ever seen a toy Chihuahua? The moment you see one you will fall in love with it. This is the tiniest and the sweetest looking dog you have ever set your eyes on and most people look forward to having one just because they make such a strong first impression on them. However, before you run to the nearest pet shop for your toy Chihuahua, you need to find out whether this dog is the right one for you or rather whether you are the right owner for it.

The Chihuahua is beautiful and so much loved because it is tiny. However, this trait can work against it as well. If you have a house full of children and other occupants having a Chihuahua around could mean serious accidents for it or even death. All that is needed to hurt (or even kill it) is that someone sleeps, steps or stamps on it while it plays or sleeps somewhere.

“Dog food is killing your dog!” That’s what recent headlines have proclaimed. People want to know: Is my dog food safe? Many commercial brands have been recalled. Dog owners don’t know what is in the food they are feeding their dogs. Have you tried to read a dog food label lately? Did you understand it?

Look down the list of your commercial dog food, and you will likely see something that sounds like “meat meal.” Want to know what that is?

Would you believe meat meal is made up of dead dogs and cats? Animal shelters and highway road crews send their euthanized animals and their “road kill” to rendering plants. Often the animals are still wearing flea collars, ID tags, and some are wrapped in plastic bags. This delightful stew is then rendered down to make meat meal, or its equivalent.
