Question

Is it fair to keep a chihuahua alone at home for 6-8 hours everyday? Pet's info: Dog | Chihuahua | Male | neutered

Dr. Leigh, DVM · Accepted Answer

It really depends on the age of the dog. If it is an adult dog than he can probably be home 6-8 hours alone without needing someone to take him out. If it is a puppy, than he would probably need someone to let him out to go to the bathroom during the day. It also depends on the dog's temperment as some dogs need more attention and exercise than others.
