So how do you all do this? Do you use a finger brush or a long handled one. Just recenly, I've noticed a lot of tartar on my baby's teeth. I'm having a few problems with the brushing: 1) I can't seem to get his mouth open wide enough (or long enough) to reach his back teeth. I think it's beca

[Chihuahuas] Re: Free Feed or Scheduled Feedings

2007-04-08 Thread Renee
I think the decision to free feed totally depends on the dog. If your dogs are eating themselves silly all day long then they're eating too much and will eventually become overwheight which (as like people) isn't good for them. They're just little dogs and don't need extra weight on their poo
