i met a dog owner today, her dog is not a chow, who told me she used betadine on her dog who had lots of hot spots. it is cheap to buy at the drugstore, she applied it to the hot spots twice a day until they cleared up and they never came back.

i just spoke with someone at the clinic and they told me michael chapman, 404 378 1375 is fostering mom and puppies.

that is very impressive!!! congratulations to both of you.

what is your friend going to do with the chow liter? keep them? any available...???

hi, i use "red barn" brand dog food as a treat. i buy it online because stores in nyc don't seem to carry it, it comes from california. it is shaped like a large sausage, and one you cut into it you have to refrigerate it. i cut slices which i dice into 1/4" dice and give as treats. b...

what fabulous dogs! i love them all. you are so lucky to have room for all of them. where did you get mini me from? he's my dream puppy. if i ever get another one....he's the one i want.

hi, welcome to the board. my suggestion is for dealing with agressive behavior toward people entering your home. when someone is about to come over, but before they enter your home, put your chow on leash and tie the leash at least ten feet from the front door, but within sight of the door. when the...

hi, you can order wolfking online, right from their website, and they give you a discount. they also offer sample size bags of all their kibble as a freebie if you order $20 (i'm not sure about the amount, but it's in the $20 range)...plus free shipping. it's not a bad deal.

you can ask for a "titer" (sp?) test before giving any vaccines. this determines if the immunity from the last vaccine is still in place, so you don't need to immunize as often.

hi,
mr. pookieface is 37.5 lbs. at 1 1/2 years old. he seems to have stopped growing. vet said he looked great at his last check up. still, when he's wet you can see he's very lean, although he looks quite tubby because of all the fur.

welcome! she is extremely beautiful! what a lucky thing that you found her. imo she looks like she has a fair amount of chow in her.

regarding the kongs, if you fill them with a few treats then plug up the hole with peanut butter, then freeze, it works very well.

mine too

timberwolf also makes organic dog food. my dogs love the dry food, don't know if they make canned. my human kids complain that i cook more for the dogs than for them.

hi everyone, i read marley and me, and i highly recommend it. most of the book is very upbeat, parts are incredibly funny and really captures the way people feel about their dogs. the end is very sad, because marley does die, and it did make me cry, but it was worth reading. quick read, well written...

hi, it might be good to do the vaccines on a separate visit from the surgery so he doesn't get zapped with too many things at once.
he's beautiful, tod is a fine name for him!

hello again fellow chow lovers, just another update on our situation. we had a few setbacks and i tried a few different approaches, what i'm finding is that feeding both dogs where mr. pookieface urinates has worked best. after they eat i leave the empty food bowls right there until the next meal. i...

Bonding too closely can also be emotionally detrimental to the Chow.[/quote]

hi kiwani,
can you explain more about this please.
thanks, monica

hi everyone, just to give you an update: things have improved dramatically!!! these are the changes i made: i've been leaving my bedroom door open during the day while i'm at work, so he can go in there, which is where he sleeps at night (under my bed). i think this helps with any stress issues as t...
