Product description

Hypoallergenic chicken recipe, supports health and immunity, ideal for fussy eaters or sensitive stomachs. Mini kibble for easy feeding.

At AVA they understand what makes your dog different. That’s why this tailored AVA breed health formulation is specially made for Chihuahuas and includes +Imuvita to support their immunity. Chihuahuas are typically loyal, loving and bursting with energy. Their tiny size and big character has made them a popular small breed in households around the world. Sometimes, Chihuahuas can be fussy eaters yet easily gain weight without adequate exercise or with overfeeding. As a brachycephalic breed they are also susceptible to overheating. Excellent skin and coat condition and a good digestive function are important for large breed dogs and are a sign of overall general good health. Their AVA breed health formulation is especially tempting, containing a source of quality chicken protein for sensitive stomachs, with a smaller kibble for easy feeding, prebiotics for digestive health and added Glucosamine and Chondroitin. Their formulation includes +Imuvita which is a unique combination of beneficial natural botanical extracts, vitamins, and selected minerals, all tailored to meet specific animal requirements. +Imuvita includes Vitamins A, D3 and E to support vitality, immunity and general wellbeing with cranberry, pomegranate, and green tea extracts to deliver a source of antioxidants (to support and neutralise possible damage caused by harmful molecules called free radicals). With this carefully combined 'super-ingredients' including Beta-Glucans (to aid the effectiveness of your dog's natural immune system), the addition of +Imuvita supports the uniqueness and natural benefits of AVA.
AVA is Veterinary Approved and a perfect choice for those wanting to feed a quality food.

Important information:

Care & behaviour: Chihuahuas require an effective care routine along with good food nutrition to help manage their skin and coat condition, body size and general wellbeing. Grooming: Weekly brushing to encourage natural oil release and less frequent grooming to remove seasonal shedding. General health & teeth: Regularly check eyes to ensure they are clear, clean, and healthy looking. Check for signs of weight gain by weighing regularly as this can occur quickly in small breeds. Check for weakness, disorientation or unusual behaviour that may indicate low energy levels. Wearing a coat outside may reduce their shivering when cold (normally nothing to worry about). Regularly check dental hygiene (training to accept teeth brushing as a puppy will help maintain oral health). Exercise & play: Typically 30 minutes exercise per day (although they love to run and play keep an eye on their energy levels, in hot weather care should be taken not to over exert them). Chihuahuas can be very intelligent, often vocal in warning of new sights, sounds and smells (training will be more successful when started early, made fun and backed up with praise and healthy rewards!). If you have any health or behaviour concerns, please seek Veterinary advice.

  • Chihuahua Ava Dried Dog Food

    Yes, I recommend this product

    My fussy chihuahuas love this brand. The bag comes with an easy open and reusable tab. It's shame that the packaging cannot be recycled.

    • Ava Chihuaha Dry Food

      We always buy this brand of food as our chihuahuas have very sensitive stomachs and have never had any problems with Ava.

    • Good quality

      I have used this on several occasions when Royal Canin is unavailable. A bit cheaper than Royal Canin but basically the same, my 4 Chihuahuas don't seem to mind the occasional change.

    • AVA made my puppy grow a new coat of long, lustrous fur!

      When I brought my new 12-week-old Chihuahua puppy home in May 2022, he had a small lion's mane around his neck and a very sparse coat everywhere else. Everyone remarked on it, even the vet when I took him for his first vaccinations and health check. According to his previous owner, she had only fed him scrambled eggs! That all changed once I started him on AVA. After the 2023 autumn moult, however, he began to produce the most luxuriant, long fur over all his body. It was a complete transformation!
