Whether you choose a teacup or a full-grown chihuahua, you should have a good idea of the costs of keeping this small dog. Buying the first year's supply of food, supplies, and accessories will cost about $345. However, there are some additional costs involved, so be sure to plan accordingly. Aside from the initial purchase price, you will also have to pay for supplies, such as flea collars, flea shampoo, and a vet's visit.
