Chihuahua + Pizza
Caution — requires monitoring.
The verdict
For a 5lb Chihuahua, even a small amount of pizza containing onion, garlic, cheese, and salt can be problematic due to their small body mass and sensitive digestive systems. The concentrated effect of these ingredients in a tiny dog increases the risk of gastrointestinal upset and potential red blood cell damage from alliums.
Watch for these signs (next 12 hours)

Recommended next steps
Monitor your Chihuahua closely for any developing symptoms over the next 12-24 hours, especially given their small size. Offer small, frequent amounts of water to prevent dehydration, and contact your veterinarian immediately if you observe any vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, or other concerning signs.
