Can I feed these to a 10 week old chihuahua?

They are soft and my almost three year old golden doodle loves them. They are easy to break into pieces and a tiny piece could be small enough. But honestly I would be very careful with a puppy and check with the company and or your vet. It's been my experience that puppies need special puppy food for about the first year. I've learned the hard way to adhere to being careful as each dog has a different stomach and digestion system. Gone are the old days when you can just give them scraps.

Wellness makes this version of treats for puppies too. I am not sure if this particular one is recommended for pups but if doesn't say you can't give them these. The puppy version is smaller for their mouth. Just type in the search in Amazon - Wellness Wellbite puppy.

I would ask my vet before feeding ANY food larger than puppy food to a small breed 10 week old puppy. Better safe than sorry. Best wishes!

I don't think these are formulated for puppies. A ten week old is a baby and probably recently weaned. They are good treats, but wait a few more weeks! The ASPCA advises that treats make up no more than 5% of the puppies nutrient intake. A toy dog like a chihuahua will mature more quickly than a larger breed, but check with a trusted source before giving anything other than puppy food. When you do decide to offer these, they are soft and you could easily break or cut them up. My dog loves them.

We've been feeding our dogs TOTW wetlands formula. Recently, our 2 year old chihuahua has developed dark patches of skin on her belly that are itchy and flaky. She also scratches a lot. However, she was on TOTW probably a month or 2 before this started. The dogs really like the food, and it seems to keep them healthy and their coats are very shiny and soft. I am waiting to see if it is just Fall allergies (we live in a very bad area for pollen and other irritants) before trying another food.

I give them to my 8 pound 7 month old Shih Tzu. Sometimes he eats the whole thing, but I usually take it away after an hour of chewing or so. if it looks too used I throw it away, otherwise he gets it again another day.

I don't see why not, if you know what their temp is suppose to be. Check with your vet.

I would have to say yes. I have a ten year old Maltese who has eating these since she could chew. She has a few every day as a snack. In fact, she refuses to eat any other treat. My vet sats she is the healthiest maltese she ever seen, and when asked her age, no one believes she is 10.

I feed my dogs a chihuahua and shorkie once a day. I cook frozen chopped broccoli and green peas (1/4 cup each ) add 1/2 cup of Wellness and 1/2 can of wet food, stir and watch him lick the bowl. Vegs are a filler make allows to give more volume without over feeding.

Oh yes. I only give my 6 lb Chihuahua one 3.5 oz can per day. So, 2 of those would definitely be enough for a slightly larger dog. My dog would never eat dry food, but she loves the Cesar food, especially the Porterhouse Steak and Filet Mignon flavors.

yes they can. you can also dip them in your babys food and have them chew on it.

They have the petite size which would be a good size for a 10 lb baby, they are long and should keep her busy for a bit. Also I think they are a little easier to digest for lil stomachs. I would try that and then the mediums if she goes thru them to easily. Sometimes the larger chews can be too thick to cut. I hope this helps, I used to tech at a Veterinary office and we had samples so you could see what worked best for the critters, check with your Veterinarian and see if they have some samples. Amazon does have some of the best pricing on the CET chews.

My aunt has a 13 lb yorkie terrier mix who loves this food. We can't keep him out of it. So, if her 13 lb-er can handle it, I would think a Chihuahua mix breed could also. Good luck, I hope your successful.

I have a chihuahua and she manages the pieces very well. They are not teeny bites but be sure they'll chew em up easily. They are not rock hard like commercial foods, remember this is Orijen, the best dog food ever.

The tiny blue finger brush might work best for the chihuahua. The other option mighy be to buy a baby's brush. There are 2.5 ozs in the tube.

Great. I have a 2 year old chihuahua and I hope this helps her. Thank you so much.

Yes I would think they would be fine. Bully sticks soften up as a dog chews on them. My dogs eventually eat the whole stick. I would just make sure that, since your dog is a puppy, you really monitor him/her closely as they are chewing the bully stick.

In a word, no. You can eat them right out of the bag. But remember not to eat more than 10 - 12 a day to avoid toxicity.

I apologize that I cannot answer this question as I put them in a sealed container after I open the bag. We have an 11 lb. chihuahua and I break the treat into several pieces. The only difficult part of doing this is that I need pliers to breal them.

These are small with a small cavity to put the pills into, my dogs love them and so easy to give with meds. I would say even a small dog could eat these with no problem.
