  How to Care for a Chihuahua With Fleas
       Savannah Raine

Even fussy chihuahuas don't mind topical flea treatments.

Chihuahuas, like all dogs, are susceptible to fleas. Luckily, the chihuahua's tiny stature doesn't preclude the most toxic and effective flea treatments, and the chihuahua is not known for flea allergies or particularly sensitive skin. While numerous flea treatments are available to rid your chihuahua of fleas---topical solutions, sprays, dips, shampoos, powders, collars and oral and injectable products---monthly topical solutions are generally the quickest and most effective. It's a good idea to give your chihuahua a pre-flea-treatment bath to wash off as many fleas as possible, because you won't be able to get him wet after treatment.
