Who Runs The Chihuahua Shack?
Welcome, all Chihuahua lovers! We are Michelle and Marco De Los Santos, owners of the feisty but loving rescue Chihuahua named Leo. They say that great things come in small packages, but who knew the package would be so furry.




Marco’s affinity for our favorite furry animals dates back as far as his early childhood when his family would shelter, raise, and help adopt dogs. While those days are long gone, he carries that tradition and love of dogs over with little Leo.


Michelle’s forte deals with natural and green living. Today, 50% of dogs over the age of 10 will develop cancer. Michelle’s family dog lived to be almost 14 until cancer took him to dog heaven.
Since then, she has committed herself to learning about health, supplements, and nutrition to prevent cancer and live as healthy as possible.


Now that we have Leo, we want to transfer that knowledge and care to dogs, particularly the ones that fit in your lap.
Naturally, the idea to start this blog came from our desire to both chronicle our progress as adult dog owners as well as condense the wide range of information that exists about dog health, wellness, and care.
Our goal is to provide readers with accurate, up-to-date information so that you can make informed decisions about your own pets.
As pet parents, we want to share our knowledge and help others build amazing relationships with their pups.
We strive to answer all the questions that we had ourselves such as:
- how much exercise does a Chihuahua need?
- how do you trim Chihuahua nails?
- what do you do when your Chi reverse sneezes?
- how often do Chihuahuas need a bath?
All the most-asked questions are located in our Chi FAQ section.
Whether you’re a first-time pet owner or you’ve had many dogs, you’re sure to find something useful on our blog!
Enough about us, we want to know about you and your dog. What questions did you have when you first got your pup and what questions keep you up today?
