So what are some things we can do to try to keep the fur bunnies to a minimum.
Dealing With a Shedding Chihuahua
Because of their tiny size, some individuals automatically assume that Chihuahuas do not shed. The reality is, however, that all dogs with fur are going to shed a minimum to a certain degree. While it may solely be a little bit of fur here and there, different times it will blanket the floors and furniture of your house, making it even harder to keep your outfit clean before heading out the door. Before you go throwing in the towel, though, you must familiarise yourself with ways that to reduce their shedding. While you may already be doing a little of these things, there are probably others to a small degree surprise you.
What you need to understand concerning Shedding Chihuahuas
Both long-coat and smooth-coat Chihuahuas will just one shed. sadly, this can be only one of their "characteristics" that you simply should learn to deal with. Contrary to what many people, however, the long-coat variety tend to shed less than their counterpart the smooth-coat. the explanation for this can be merely because of the lack of an undercoat. If you have ever petted or rubbed your hands on the body of a long-coat Chihuahua, you will have noticed how soft yet firm their coat feels. without an undercoat, long-coat Chihuahuas will typically shed less than smooth-coat.
Like most dogs, Chihuahuas can shed a larger quantity of fur throughout the spring and summer months once their winter coat is not any longer required. Chihuahuas tend to keep their fur throughout the winter for an additional level of protection against the cold temperatures. Once winter is gone and also the temperatures begin to rise, the shedding can begin once more. Keep an eye fixed your Chihuahua towards the top of the winter season to examine once they begin shedding.
Now for that question that is probably burning a hole in your mind - "How do I cut back my Chihuahua's shedding?" As long as you put forth the effort using the ways listed below, even the foremost furry and problematic Chihuahuas may be restrained. Here are a number of the tried and tested ways to scale back a Chihuahua's shedding:
The first line of defense you have got against a shedding Chihuahua is correct grooming.

Brushing can probably get "most" of the loose fur off your Chihuahua's body, however some of it'll inevitably stay on till it falls off somewhere within your home. Bathing them, however, will help wash away any fur that was missed once brushing. the bottom of your tub might have a pleasant pile of fur afterwards, however that is better than it ending up on the ground of your home
As previously mentioned, Chihuahua tend to shed a lot of throughout the spring and summer months, therefore you will need to focus your grooming efforts throughout this time of year. this does not essentially mean that they will not shed throughout winter, however if they are doing it'll be considerably less.

Your Chihuahua might not like having to get in their bed initially, however it is necessary to keep your article of furniture fur-free. If that is not enough, you'll be able to go one step more by employing a lint-roller on that. Simply run the lint-roller across the surface of any article of furniture to instantly take away pet fur.
No matter however hard you try to forestall it, your Chihuahua is going to shed their hair. Take a second or 2 to go through your home and establish areas that attract the best quantity of hair. you can then focus your cleanup efforts here after you notice your Chihuahua is shedding lots. Vacuuming, sweeping and dusting furniture are simple and straightforward ways that to pick up excess hair. Also take a moist towel and run it along the baseboards of your home, as pet hair often gets stuck here. I run the moist towel over Miss Mildred as well as it gets the fur off her as well in-between her baths.
