Chihuahua Dog Clothes

As someone who loves chihuahua dog clothes, I get fairly excited over almost any opportunity to dress my chihuahua dog, Namaste, up in her chihuahua dog clothes, and so when my neighbor calls me up and asks if Namaste can come over for a chihuahua play date with her doggies, I freaking jump at the chance! I grab a few of her dog clothes for chihuahua outfits, my laptop, and we’re off out the door to the neighbor’s house so our chihuahuas can play together while we visit and do some work in the same space.

A few years ago, if someone told me I’d be taking my chihuahua to go to a chihuahua dog clothing play date, I would have told them they were on crack. Nothing could have been further from my mind. But after inadvertently adopting a few chihuahuas and spending some time with them, I’ve become big softy for these little dogs and their small dog clothes, and the entire chihuahua dog fashion scene!

So anyway, this past time I took Namaste over to her chihuahua dog friend’s house to play, I dressed her up in her favorite toy dog clothes, and off she went to play while I had coffee with the other chihuahua’s owner: my friend. We got to talking about chihuahua dog clothes while our chihuahuas were there, in front of us, wearing their chihuahua clothing, and I started to wonder if we would go blind or something from doing this 😉 Luckily for us, the answer was no, and it’s a good thing because once two chihuahua dog fashion fanatics get into a conversation about small dog clothes, it takes an eternity or, in this case, the threat of some sort of natural disaster, to bring an end to that conversation.

And I kid you not: that is what it came to. I was working on my laptop while my friend was working on hers at the same table, and our chihuahua dogs were off playing together, dressed in their chihuahua dog clothing, when the tropical storm that had just been upgraded to hurricane status rolled into town with a furry, and the windows and everything started to really shake like crazy with the intense wind gust blasting against them. With all the commotion, our little pets in their dog clothes for chihuahuas started to FREAK out a bit and were coming up to us and looking at us for direction, with that “what should I do?”-look.

So, of course, being the chihuahua puppy clothes freaks that we are, we broke out their chihuahua dog thunder jackets and put them on them. I’m not sure if these chihuahua clothes actually have any magical powers anything strange like that or if it’s just some kind of placebo effect it has on our chihuahuas’ mind, but these outfits really do help our little dogs to stay more calm when the weather turns downright hostile outside. And so for them, their chihuahua doggie clothes inspired play date could continue, and they went back off into the living room to roughhouse and play and wrestle and rip around in their chihuahua clothing, having their chihuahua fun.

And that made me happy because I was able to get back to my work on the Chihuahua Shop, where we carry only very high quality chihuahua dog clothes that I would invite you to check out yourself if you love dressing up your dog in cute chihuahua clothes, and everything turned out great!

Can Chihuahuas Live in Cold Climates? Yes, With Coats For Dogs, They Can

I’ve had many chihuahuas throughout my life, and in conversations with potential owners, many people ask me if chihuahuas can live in cold weather or ask me “can a chihuahua live outside?” The answer is a resounding yes, they can, but will almost always need to pair your chihuahua dog with some chihuahua clothes and a few coats for dogs.

Chihuahuas tend to cool off and get cold more easily than other breeds of dogs. They originate from a warm part of the planet–whether it was really in Mexico as many believe or in the Mediterranean as some experts suggest–and so genetically speaking, they’re more geared for the heat than a lot of other breeds. In addition, their smaller bodies have a higher metabolism, which makes them cool down quicker than bigger dogs with lower metabolic rates. So if you live in a place like Canada or the UK or a state in the US where it really cools down at some point in the day or for part of the year, then you can just pick up a pieces of clothing for your little dog and play chihuahua dress up with him, and that’s all you really need to do.

I’ve lived with a number of chihuahuas in Canada that I brought up from Mexico, and they do find it cold without the clothes, but you put a sweater on them and then dress them up in a chihuahua coat that is specifically made for dogs, and they stay warm just like any other kind of dog would. It’s really not a problem, and they’re perfectly fine when they have their clothes. Even without the clothes, they do alright, but you want make sure they’re comfortable in your home and when they go out for a walk when they’re cold, so that’s what the doggy clothes are for. It’s pretty simple.

Every chihuahua dog owner I’ve ever seen who lives in a cooler climate has a little collection of clothes for their little K-9… it’s kind of cute, actually. The more you walk around the neighborhood in the winter, the more you get to see your neighbors’ dog clothes wardrobes, haha, with all the chihuahua winter coats and the shirts and sweaters, and tons of different coats for dogs. So yes, it is normal for people to have chihuahuas in colder weather and in cold climates, and live with Chihuahuas in Canada in the winter, and in other cold places too, of course. To take them outside, just pick up a few chihuahua clothes for the little pooches, and they’re good to go.
