All dog owners should understand what their fur babies eating needs are at each stage of their life. As your pup grows, so will its appetite – and ensuring that it eats enough, gets the right nutrients, and stays healthy should be your top priority!
Here is all you need to know about feeding your Chilier:
You should feed this mixed breed dog kibble that is high-quality and nutrient-rich. Ensure that the food you feed them is appropriate for their life stage, energy levels, age, and metabolism.
Small dogs do not need as much food as larger dog breeds, and Chiliers follow a different diet than other dogs.
Your puppy should be eating less than 400 calories a day. You can feed them store-bought puppy food as this will meet their nutritional requirements. You can also feed them soft vegetables.
Feed your pup 3-4 times a day, and when they reach six months old, you can start feeding them 2-3 times daily.
This designer dog breed is very active, so you should feed them food appropriate for high-energy dogs. Stick to smaller meals and feed them 2-3 times each day. You can give your Chilier a good mix of kibble and some vegetables and meat.
Feed your pup about ¼ cup to 1 cup of food daily. They should eat 60 – 100 g a day.
A senior dog should eat a diet rich in fats and protein; their food should also be easy to digest. You can continue feeding them ¼ cup to 1 cup of food.
A pregnant dog should always eat more food than usual throughout her gestation period. She will need higher levels of protein and energy. However, since this Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Chihuahua mix is very small, it’s best not to let your pup fall pregnant.
Raw food is very good for your pup, and most pet owners like to give their pups a blend of raw, commercial, and fresh food. It does come down to your pup’s taste, health, and personal preferences.
Your companion dog deserves the best quality food, so be sure to feed them what they like and what gives them a healthy life!
Yes, you can. But it is best to limit the treats and only give them to your dog on special occasions. Chiliers are prone to weight gain, and treats are loaded with sugar and extra calories that won’t be good for your little pup.
Your Chilier should not eat chocolate, grapes, garlic, fruit seeds, onions, and raisins. These foods will cause an upset stomach or are toxic for this mixed dog breed. Chiliers also shouldn’t eat any foods their parent breeds are allergic to.
Not necessarily, but all dogs are different. One Chilier may be happy to eat almost anything you feed it, while another may turn down most foods and be picky with what it likes.
Ensure your pup’s water bowl is always full; they should drink 1/8 of a cup per kg of their body weight daily.
Chilier feeding requirements are very much the same as any other designer dog breed. They should always eat dog food appropriate to their age, weight, and size. You can test various diets and see what is best for your doggo.
Stick to a healthy and nutritious diet, and your pet dog will be healthy and happy!
