Looking After Pets

The Chihuahua Shop has been overwhelmed with orders lately for the new pink dog collars and the popular custom dog collars. It looks as though many chihuahua owners are looking to add a personal touch to their little chihuahua’s collar. And also, I’m noticing that a lot of the chihuahua fashion fanatics have a fashion flair for the color pink! In the interest of serving people better, I’d like to discuss a few of the qualities of these pink dog collars and the new custom dog collars for chihuahuas that we have right now.

So to begin, I’m getting a lot of question from chihuahua owners about our pink dog collars for chihuahuas: they’re curious about the specific pink hue we use to make the leather pink collars with and if we offer more than one pink color in our collars. And to answer this, the Chihuahua Shop offers two separate colors of pink dog collars you see here that you can pick up for your small dog. We carry a lighter, more dainty pink dog collar, as well as a darker, more fuchsia-esque color of collar for chihuahua dogs.

People are also want to learn more about the customized dog collars: they need to know exactly how many characters they can string together on a custom chihuahua collar for their little dog. And the truth is that you can choose up to 8 different characters on your custom dog collars that you order for your chihuahuas or other small dogs, if you want that many. The letters come in either Diamante crystal-studded ones or the polished chrome characters.

To further customize your new dog’s collar, you get to choose the color of the leather band. So if you’re a pink person, you go with the pink band for your little dog. If you like blue dog collars, you can color your new custom dog collar in a great blue color we carry. We also carry the standard black, tan, and green, yellow, purple and the other favorites for you customizable dog collar.

Having a dog is a big responsibility. Some even compare taking care of a dog to that of a baby. The only advantage having dogs compared to having babies is that they won’t grow older and turn into stressful teenagers. Because dogs are like babies they sometimes also end up in danger situations. They would sometimes get themselves trapped in a tight place or get hit by something that will injure one of their limbs. When that happens, we should learn how to bandage our dogs to prevent further damage. Here are some basic ways of how to bandage your injured dog.

1. When your dog has a bandage, it should always be clean and dry. when your dog has a bandage, it’s pretty important to make sure your dog stays inside the house for most of the time. To prevent the bandage from getting wet when the pet goes to pee or poop, a trash bag or plastic covering should cover the bandaged leg. You may use empty bread bags. When your dog has wet or dirtied up the bandage, it would require changing. To make sure that the bandage is always clean and dry you have to check it at least twice a day. Check also for foul odors or discharge and if there is any, call your veterinarian immediately.
2. After bringing home your pet from the veterinarian, make sure that the bandage is still in place. Your pet might have been irritated by it and has chewed or tried to scratch it off. Look closely at the position and the location of the bandage when you do check. Look at the toes of the dog, the bandage might have slipped up making the toes stick out. Also look at the size, if the bandage has become loose. This should be taken into account when a dog has been bandaged in the abdomen or leg area. This is because one end will be bigger than the other and eventually become narrower. When the bandage telescopes down the limb of the dog it may bunch up and abrade the limb. When that happens, the bandage should be changed as well.
3. If the dog is bandaged up in the leg make sure it isn’t too tight. Observe how the toes will appear at the bottom of the bandage at least twice a day. This is done to check for sweating, swelling, or pain. Check for skin chaffing, redness, discharge or swelling before and after the bandage has been applied.
4. To prevent the pet from chewing the bandage because of the bothersome experience it gives, put an Elizabethan collar. If you have observed that the dog is chewing or scratching it too often, ask the vet if there might be problems.

These are the times that you should already be taking the dog back to the veterinarian:
•    Swelling above or below the bandage
•    Chewing the bandage
•    Bandage becomes wet
•    Bleeding or discharge above, below or through
•    Scheduled bandage changes
