Although the Chihuahua is a very, very small breed, it will inevitably need to be brushed and cleaned, and brushing it daily with a brushing glove to remove dead hairs from its body will facilitate the growth of new hairs.

If your Chihuahua is a glossy-haired type, then a once-a-week grooming session is all that is needed to maintain its shiny appearance. A soft-bristled pin brush is all that is needed to groom it. But if your Chihuahua is a long-haired type, then you will have to groom it two to three times a week. Some owners of long-haired type Chihuahuas are willing to take them to a professional groomer on a regular basis, which cuts down on the daily grooming. This is a great idea, but you have to be careful to start getting your Chihuahua used to this activity at a very young age, otherwise it can cause them a lot of stress.

Proper grooming also includes the Chihuahua’s eyes. To keep the eyes clean, you should regularly put some eye wash drops in your Chihuahua’s eyes and gently wipe them with cotton. Since Chihuahuas have prominent eyes, the discharge from their eyes tends to form tear stains, which can seem very noticeable in light coated Chihuahuas. Eye drops can minimize or remove tear tracks in Chihuahuas. This should be done once or twice a week.

Finally, don’t forget to give your Chihuahua a tail trim and a bath. When all this work is done, you will see the “work” you trimmed out, and his shape will be just as you like it!
