Frequently Asked Questions

How much exercise does a Chiweenie need daily?

Chiweenies need about 30–60 minutes of exercise per day. A combination of short walks and play keeps them active and mentally stimulated.

Are Chiweenies good with children?

Yes, Chiweenies are capable of bonding well with children, but adult supervision is recommended because of their delicate nature and small size. They might not be tolerant of the rough-and-tumble kind of play.

Can a Chiweenie live on a raw diet?

Yes, but raw diets have to be well planned to prevent nutritional deficiencies. Consult your vet prior to making the switch.

Do Chiweenies shed excessively?

They are moderate shedders. Short-haired Chiweenies shed less than long-haired ones, which need more grooming.
