When living in an apartment, saving space can be a vital aspect to remember. Apartments, or flats as they are known here in the UK, are often on the smaller side of living spaces; they might have very few rooms, less storage, and might be on a budget. This can sometimes mean that keeping a pet in a flat is seemingly impossible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But some people do manage to keep various pets in apartments successfully, even dogs. Some dog breeds suit apartment living better than others; one such breed that is often kept in flats is the Chihuahua.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The good news is that, yes, chihuahuas can be great apartment dogs. They have a few qualities that make them perfectly suited to living in apartments, such as their small size, lack of barking, and adaptability. However, each dog is an individual, so their behaviour will vary; this can affect their suitability to live in a flat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This article will explain why chihuahuas make good apartment dogs, as well as how you can make sure that your pet chihuahua is happy, healthy, and safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Certain qualities make some dog breeds easier to house in a flat. Chihuahuas have a few of these qualities that make them good dogs for people who live in an apartment, as listed below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is deemed the most important aspect of what makes a good apartment dog. No matter the size of the dog, if it has high energy, then being cooped up in a flat is not ideal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chihuahuas are known to have low to moderate energy levels, so they can handle the confinement of an apartment quite well. This makes them perfect for people who want to keep a dog but can only provide a small living area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Little dogs, like chihuahuas, don’t take up too much space. They can fit comfortably into small living spaces, so you don’t have to worry about them taking up too much room or feeling cramped. This makes them perfect for people living in smaller flats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
