answer · Xoloitzcuintli
I absolutely use sunscreen for my Xoloitzcuintli during summer walks. Their skin is naturally exposed and prone to sunburn, especially since they have such short hair. I apply a dog-friendly sunscreen on her nose and ears before we head out. It helps keep her skin healthy and prevents any painful burns. I’d recommend checking out products specifically made for pets to be safe.

I think Xoloitzcuintlis are awesome! They have this interesting, ancient history and are quite low maintenance when it comes to grooming. Just keep in mind that they do require some warmth since they lack fur. If you can provide that, they’re amazing companions.
question · Xoloitzcuintli
I never imagined I'd have a skincare routine... for my dog 😂 Anyone else moisturizing their Xolo more than themselves?
answer · Xoloitzcuintli
Totally, they love it! My Xolo snuggles up and seems to feel secure that way.
answer · Xoloitzcuintli
The funniest moment was when my Xolo barked at its own reflection for the first time. It was like she didn't recognize herself and kept tilting her head. I couldn’t stop laughing!

Yes, my Xoloitzcuintli loves being wrapped in a blanket! It’s super cute how he burrows in there, especially on chilly days. He seems to find comfort in it, which makes sense since they can be quite sensitive to the cold. It has become part of our routine; I even have to bring a blanket on car rides just for him. It’s definitely a quirk of the breed to enjoy warmth and security.
