Question

How long can Chihuahuas be left alone for (during the day)???

Answer 1

chihuahua's are cute and need lots of attention but,

i say about 4-5 hours

Answer 2

Like any other dog, they can be left alone for a long time provided they have a secure area to stay in, have food and water, a bed, toys, a place to potty, etc.  If you have to work all day, I would recommend getting the pup/dog a companion (another Chi).  Dogs are pack animals and need the company of their own kind.  Plus they will give you a lot of enjoyment just watching them play and interact with each other!

Answer 3

It is usually 1 hour for each month of age, plus 1 hour, so a two-month-old puppy can only be left alone/hold its potty for 3 hours at the most.  

Answer 4

As long as they have shade, food and plenty of water they should be fine for while you're at work. Not sure about locking them up inside of the house though, could be asking for an "accident" or two.

Answer 5

We leave ours at home from 8-5 some days. As long as they have a puppy pad, food and water, they are fine. It is always good to get them in pairs so they don't get lonely, and they learn to socialize. Remember to let them free-feed on dry food all day.
