Well, he finished his pigs ear after a couple of trips in the garden and then into his bed in the lounge room where he blissfully chewed until it was about 1 inch in size. I won't be getting him another one though as they are not really good for him. Got some lovely fresh meaty bones yesterday and gave him one. He was not very interested in it and has buried it for further consideration. lol. Moggy.

We bring our Chihuahua pup home in 3 weeks and have purchased some Fido Everyday Soap Free Shampoo. Next step is a suitable flea treatment. As she will be bathed weekly which would be the best treatment? Would appreciate some opinions please. Moggy

Bought a pigs ear for the first time today from a pet shop and gave it to my Chihuahua. He loves it! My questions is, what are the benefits of pigs ears? Is it good for their teeth? There are so many "chews" to choose from I am not sure which are the best. Moggy.

I had a Chihuahua years ago who ate mainly Goodos and he lived to 15. I am minding my sons Chihuahua at the moment and he is also enjoying a few Goodos as a treat, although my son insists he has the recipe they have been giving him for the last 2 years. Chicken mince, rice, peas and grated carrot made into a stew. He loves this at his meal time, but I can't help thinking he is not getting all his nutrients. I would imagine the dry foods have a balance of the vitamins etc that they need. What do others think? Moggy

Thanks again. Will try the crate training beside my bed. Actually she will be over 3 months old when we bring her home, so hopefully her little bladder will be able to hold more than a young pup. We are so looking forward to getting her. Moggy

Thank you all. I have a waterproof mattress cover, so will try for a night or two and see what happens. Can't wait to bring her home on October 26th. Marking the calendar, lol. Will keep my fingers crossed for a smooth transition. Moggy

We have a gorgeous 3 year old Chihuahua, Tictac, who sleeps with us. We have a doggy door and he uses it day and night. We are lucky enough to be getting a new Chihuahua pup in a few weeks and she will be about 10 weeks old. The problem is we don't want to put Tictac out of our bed while housetraining the new pup, and we don't want to leave the new pup in a bed on its own. BUT if the new pup sleeps with us we are worried she might wet the bed. I know it won't take long to toilet train her as she will copy Tictac (from previous experience many years ago with two dogs). Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Moggy
