Question
QUESTION: I have bought a chi chi and she doesn't like to eat her food I bought her,Wellnes for small breed dogs
I have given her the food her previous owner gave her and she doesn't like that either!

ANSWER: Hi Mark,  How about you add some Wet canned food to her dry dog kibble.
Also, you can cook up some white meat chicken breast and give her a few teaspoons on top of the Wellness dog food.
Also, you can add a little dog gravy to her meals...I believe Iams makes a dog sauce or gravy.

Keep me posted...
I may have some other ideas.

QUESTION: Marie
Thank you for your advice.
When I take my chihuahua for a ride in the car she starts panting excessivily,
then calms down.
Is it possible to litter box train her?
I live on the second floor in my apartment.
Thank you.

Answer
Hi - Take her for very short 15 minute care rides.  As time goes by, work up to 30 minutes or longer.  It takes time and practice.

Litter box train...YES - or potty grass is very cool - see here:
