What to feed your dog *Xoloitzcuintli*

(Pronounced: show – low – eats – queen – tlee)

This is a breed that was developed in western Mexico and has been traced back to the Colima culture between 900 B.C. and 300 A.D. These dogs were thought of as representative of their god Xolotl and were given the duty of guarding the souls of the dead on their journey to the afterlife. When Columbus came to the Americas in 1492, he wrote in his journals about the presence of strange hairless dogs. He became interested in the breed and eventually took them back to Europe. Zolos have some unique features such as being hairless, having a high body temperature and they don’t have pre-molar teeth.

Since these dogs were originally from the Western mountains of Mexico, the climate would of been very hot and humid. The native meats would of been very low in fat and the vegetation would of had a ton of citrus like mango and papaya. We do not recommend any of the commercial food blends what so ever. If you do own one, we recommend a lot of fruits, vegetables and while you are at it add water to the food. You want to keep it hydrated since it’s body temperatures is different from other dogs. Also do not add anything artificial. If you want to feed it meat look for something very low in fat.

What You Should Feed Your Dog *Chihuahua*

We ended up getting another request and we will deliver.

There are many theories surrounding the origin of the breed, however one thing that most archaeologists and historians can agree on is where they come from. Named after the city Chihuahua, Mexico these breeds were kept in the temples of the Aztecs to help control the rodent population. Some historians believe that Chihuahuas came from the island of Malta in the Mediterranean. Either way the early depictions of this breed had them as a bigger dog with a longer life span. What could of effected the Chihuahua’s growth and life span could be the diet they adapted to over the centuries.

Since this breed’s origins come from the rain forests and jungles of Mexico and South America, they would of ate a lot of fruits such as mangoes and avocado, meats such as rodents or wild boar and poultry.

We would recommend you feed your Chihuahua foods that contain avocado, blended with poultry and rice. You should avoid beef and beat pulp.
