Frequently Asked Questions: Chiweenie Teeth
Are Chiweenies prone to dental problems?
Chiweenies inherit dental risks from both parent breeds. Chihuahua genes can cause crowding while the Dachshund jaw shape adds its own challenges.
How do I brush a Chiweenie’s teeth?
Use a small finger brush or a toothbrush designed for small dogs. Daily brushing with enzymatic toothpaste is best for Chiweenies.
When do Chiweenie puppies lose their baby teeth?
Chiweenie puppies lose their 28 baby teeth between 3–6 months and have all 42 adult teeth in place by approximately 7 months.
What dental chews work for Chiweenies?
Small, soft VOHC-approved dental chews are ideal. Avoid hard bones or antlers that could fracture their small teeth.
