I have a Chihuahua who weighs 8 pounds!!! He should only weigh about 5 pounds. I do not over feed him and do not feed him table scraps EVER! My vet suggested cutting back his daily food from 1/3 of a cup to 1/4 of a cup! That just seems like so little and I am afraid he will be hungry but he needs to lose weight so he will live longer. How much do you other Chihuahua owners feed your dog?
To Tam-a-tranny or whatever your name is… 3lbs on a small dog is a lot of extra weight. Get your head out of your big fat butt and move along skank.
The vet said he was ok when he was 6.8lbs but ideally, for his bone structure he should weigh 5lbs to avoid having joint pain later on. Also, I met both of his parents when I bought him and Mom was 3lbs and Dad was 5lbs. I’m just going off of what my vet told me. Obviously I want my dog to live a long and healthy life.
