🐾 SHARR Breed Spotlight: Chihuahua Edition

Hi, everyone! Kevin here from NENE’s store 🐶

“I really should get up soon…”

But with your Chihuahua sleeping peacefully on your lap, those errands can wait a little longer… again 🤭

Then comes a sound at the front door, and those ears perk right up!

Your sleepy little cuddle buddy suddenly looks very serious about checking what’s going on 🐾

Tiny as they are, they somehow take over your schedule, your seat, and your heart ✨

Does that sound familiar? Life with a Chihuahua is full of little moments that make you smile and think, “That’s my dog!” 🧡

Whether yours has a fluffy long coat or a sleek, smooth coat, one thing is certain: your pup is your number one ♡

Let’s celebrate what makes Chihuahuas so lovable, with a few relatable moments and coat care tips to enjoy together 🐶✨

① A Name with Mexican Roots!

Chihuahuas come from Mexico and take their name from the Mexican state of Chihuahua.

Although their exact origins are debated, they are thought to be linked to the Techichi, a small dog that lived alongside people in ancient Mexico.

That little pup lounging on your sofa has quite a history!

Knowing a little about their roots might help you feel a little more connected to Mexico, too 🌵

② Fluffy or Smooth: Care That Suits Your Chihuahua ♡

Your Chihuahua may love cuddles with the family, but a new brush might earn a cautious look that says, “What’s that?” 🤭

Start with familiar, gentle strokes.
Choose a comfortable spot on the floor or a mat, and let your pup set the pace 🧡

For long-haired Chihuahuas, pay attention to tangles in the feathering around the ears, chest, and tail.

And if you have a smooth-coated Chihuahua, you may know the feeling of picking them up for a cuddle, only to find your clothes covered in tiny hairs! 👀

Look beyond coat length: consider how thick their coat is and how they respond to touch as you find a routine that works for them 🐾

③ A Silky Back… but What About Those Hidden Spots?

“I didn’t feel anything when I stroked their back, but there’s a little mat behind the ear!”

If you have a long-haired Chihuahua, this might sound familiar 💡

Give these five areas a little extra attention: behind the ears, the chest and neck, the armpits, the feathering on the hind legs, and the tail.

“Taking off the harness? Time for a quick check under the front legs.”

“Taking off their sweater? A gentle stroke over the chest.”

Pairing these little checks with everyday routines makes them easier to remember 💡

For smooth-coated pups, gently check the areas where collars and harnesses sit, paying attention to both the coat and the skin.

Never pull at tangles. If you find a tight mat, ask a professional groomer for help 🌿

④ Coat Feeling Dry? Prep with SHARMI 🌸🍐

“The fur on their chest feels a little dry.”

“That sweater always seems to leave their coat full of static…”

On days like these, try adding SHARMI to your routine before brushing ✨

From long, flowing feathering to short, smooth fur, add a little moisturizing coat care to your usual routine 🧡

Start gently at the back to avoid startling your pup, directing the spray away from the eyes, nose, and mouth.

If your dog is uncomfortable with the spray, don’t force it. Watch their response and take your time!

⑤ Two Sides of SHARR: Grooming and Quality Time Together ♡

SHARR combines 14-karat gold-plated pins on one side with boar bristles on the other.
Choose the side that suits your Chihuahua’s coat and preferences 🐶

〈Pin Side: A Light Touch for Both Coat Types〉

For long-haired pups, work in small sections, following the direction of hair growth.

Support longer strands near the roots with your fingers and gently work from the ends. If the brush catches, pause rather than pulling through.

For smooth-coated pups, use gentle, massage-like strokes along the back and sides 🧡

The metal pins can also feel pleasantly cool to the touch.

After a walk, settle down in a cool room and enjoy a few light, soothing strokes as your pup takes a break ✨

Make it a chance for both of you to unwind together 🧡

With a short coat, the pins can reach the skin more easily, so remember to keep your touch light and avoid pressing down.

〈Boar-Bristle Side: Gently Smooth the Coat〉

For long-haired pups, use this side to finish the feathering and smooth the coat.

For smooth-coated pups, gently brush along the short fur for a neat, smooth finish ✨

Use small, slow strokes to suit their little body. With either side, there’s no need to brush sparsely haired or bony areas.

“Just the back today.”

“They seem comfortable—maybe a little on the chest, too ♡”

You don’t have to use both sides or brush the whole body every time.

If your Chihuahua turns away or pulls back, take a break. Start with short sessions that feel comfortable for your pup 🌿

⑥ Fluffy or Smooth, Your Chihuahua Is One of a Kind ♡

Those soft wisps of fur around the ears.

That smooth little forehead.

That upward gaze asking to be picked up.

Every Chihuahua has their own coat, personality, and favorite way to be petted.

As you brush, you might notice:

“Your fur is so fine right here.”

“Do you like having your back brushed more than your chest?”

What a lovely way to discover one more little thing about your pup 💕

Let their coat and personality guide you, and keep grooming gentle and relaxed ✨

We hope time with SHARR becomes another happy part of everyday life with your beloved Chihuahua 🐶🧡
