Prepare for unexpected vet bills
Some people forget that little dogs enjoy beach time fun too. Your Chinese Crested dog wants to be with you, so why not head to a dog-friendly beach for some fun in the sand and surf? The beach can be located along an ocean or a lake. Remember, some locations have strict rules that state your dog must be kept on a leash at all times but others allow canines to run free. Either way, when you first arrive, you will want to take things slow with your little buddy. If your dog has never been to an ocean beach, they may be overwhelmed by the crashing waves and the sounds, so offer plenty of encouragement.
Many owners of larger dogs bike with their canine buddies jogging alongside the bicycle. However, the Chinese Crested is a small dog and cannot readily keep up with a big bike so you will need to invest in a front or rear basket. Many are designed as small dog pet carriers. They safely hold Fido on the bike while you pedal in the city or down a country trail. Most dogs genuinely enjoy bicycling. You could pack a lunch and make a picnic of the day together. Just always keep an eye on Fido as you bike along to make sure your dog isn't overly hungry, tired, or in need of a bathroom break.
Many owners coddle their Chinese Crested dogs. If it snows, they don't take their small dog outdoors. However, this can be a mistake because even if your dog lacks fur, they can still benefit from some fresh air. If you shop online or at a local pet store, the chances are good that you will find a warm winter coat, hat and even booties for your pooch. Some owners also make or modify clothing for their canine companions. Even if it snows, you can still bundle your furry buddy up in warm layers and embark on a wintertime adventure together.
