How to Groom a Chihuahua at Home

“Ah, the Chihuahua—small in size, mighty in presence. Be they sleek as a pebble or fluffed like a feather, these little emperors demand more than their stature suggests. With just a bit of regular care, your Chihuahua shall remain as sharp and splendid as their royal lineage implies.” — Lola

At Lola’s, we are on a mission to bring joy to pups and their humans.

For the love of gleam, here are some tips from Lola herself to keep your Chihuahua clean and comfy between grooms.

At-Home Grooming Routine

Brushing:
Short-haired: Once a week with a rubber mitt.
Long-haired: 2–3x a week with a soft slicker brush.
Bathing: Every 4–6 weeks with a gentle, small-dog-friendly shampoo.
Ear & Eye Care: Check weekly. Chihuahuas can get tear stains—clean with vet-approved wipes.
Eye Trimming: Keep hair away from the eyes using rounded-tip scissors or an electric trimmer on a low setting
Paw & Nail Care: Trim nails every 2–3 weeks; those little paws don’t wear them down much!

When to call Lola’s Pet Salon
