Can Chihuahuas swim?

Yes, Chihuahuas can swim, but they’re not natural swimmers like some other breeds. Their small size, short legs, and lightweight bodies make it harder for them to stay afloat, so they may need extra support and supervision in the water. Some Chihuahuas enjoy swimming and can be good at it with practice, but not all dogs of this breed take to water naturally.

If you want to introduce your Chihuahua to swimming, start slowly and make sure they’re comfortable. You can use a doggy life jacket for extra safety. Always supervise them closely near water to prevent any accidents, and remember that they can get cold quickly in the water due to their small size.
