First off, Welcome to the forums Snowpy. You'll find this place very supporting and caring envirnmonet for all your chow concerns just as I have. I just realised the other day that chow owners must share some sort of common bond with these dogs as they are all just as happy to help contribute to sol...

Hi, Thankyou both for the replies. At first i thought he couldnt be that sensitive, turns out i was wrong. It kind of makes my heart melt a little more each time for him, cause now i see him more as a little child then a pet dog :) Ill make sure i leave him in peace as soon as we serve the food as n...

Hi everyone, Since Saturday, Powpow hasnt been eating right. He first threw up on Friday night, which was quiet a bit then thew up water 3 more times that night. From then on he has been eating very little on Saturday & Sunday, from Monday till today his appetite has slowly increased over the pa...

Hi Tracie, Yes id like for some more info on PMR please. We dont really try to substitute his kibble but more on trying to give him a variety as we dont want him getting sick of the Holistic, which he kind of did when he was a pup. I even made a food timetable/schedule for our helpers so that they w...

Sorry, what i ment by ripe potato's was not green? Im confused. Anyway we do this to with carrots and he likes it alot. Generally we give him half a cup of mashed potato with his boiled chicken and boiled beef 1-3 times a week.

"Other edibles to avoid are: potato peelings and green looking potatoes, as well as the leaves of Broccoli, Rhubarb or Tomato plants"

We give our Chow boiled then mashed up ripe potato to go with his dry foods, he absolutely loves it. Should we stop this?

Cam, funny you mentioning this cause last week Powpow caught a rat too! He didnt kill it though as we got to it before he could bite to draw blood. My partner was soo worried that the rat might of had rabies. Powpow seemed to have enjoyed the whole thing, even barking at us when the rat was taken aw...

Hi Rio, Powpow is starting to learn how to mark his territory too, i think this cause his starting to pee with one leg up and he pee's on the borders of our fence to indicate where his territory begins. He too just turned 6 months old. He doesnt wake up as early as Rio but he does wake up at 5:30 am...

I too have been watching the Tagalog news down here in Aus and cant believe how high the flood waters have risen in such a short time! That contruction company who decided it was a bright idea to cover all those man holes sure didnt help the situation! My prayers are with all the Pinoys and there pe...

Thanks Ingen, in that picture he was 4 months old. He'll be six months on the 4th.
Nice pic Cam Atis.

Cam, Your Chow is beautiful and even looks alot like Powpow. Where in the Philippines are you located?

Will do!

Ari, Your chow is adorable!

Here's me, PowPow and my girlfriend

Thanks to all forthe compliments and the responses. They are all appericiated. Judy Fox, your two girls are GORGEOUS! Cam Atis i dont so much doubt the authenticity of my PCCI papers but in the Philippines you just never know unless you have proff of the "act" like in your case. And i was ...

PPCI Papers (im not too sure how to even read this)

Hi everyone, Well i know this topic is quiet a popular one right now on how pure bred your chow is so i need an opinion on what kind of Chow i have and if his a PURE bred or not. I showed Powpow's picture to some new Chinese friends i met over the weekend at a friends BBQ. Anyway they told me that m...

Rio your right no limb is safe! I just got back from the Philippines and while I was there I got bitten by my Chow :( I must of startled him while he was barking at the cat as I went to pick him up. I was even administered to the hospital as the puncture wounds were a little deep and for my anti rab...

Yeah, that's very true. Fortunately for us our vet is a relative
We're now noticing his teething stage as he loves chewing on everything. Even our feet so I'll have to teach him its not ok to bite people. I think a chew toy should do the trick.

Powpow is only 5 days older (4/2/12) so very close indeed. If the puppy is given the shot does he have to stay over night or something or can you take him home straight away? I too am against having him locked up.

Your most welcome. My partner just got back from the vet this afternoon for a routine checkup and for his 5 in 1 shot. There the vet had a look at his coat, skin and weighed him at 5.25 kgs. He said the dog is very healthy and that there was nothing to be worried about. He did offer another shot whi...

Hi, Thanks for all that info. But i think you might of misread my post. We feed him 3 cups per day. A total of 2 cups of holistic and 1 cup of rice. As for the salmonella ill make sure to wash the egg shell first upon breaking just incase the inner touches the shell. Ill be heading back to the Phils...

Wow glad to meet you So 1 cup per meal 3 times a day is over feeding?
Breakfast
1/2 cup holistic 1/2 cup rice
Lunch
1 cup holistic with raw egg
Dinner
1/2 cup holistic 1/2 cup rice ( we will soon change the rice to 2 tablespoons of cottage cheese.)
Thanks.

Rio,
Thanks for asking the question as my breeder told me a similar thing but wasnt too sure.
Now i understand exactly why we put warm water, then drain the water with his dry food before we serve it.

Hugo, now im confused as others have been sayings its fine :S
Thanks Rio Pow is my first chow too so yeah i know how you feel. I think ill add some puppy milk into his diet as his still only 10 weeks old. How early can you start feeding chows meat like fish or chicken etc?

Thanks for the list PCC, ill do some digging around and ill see what i can find in the Philippines. Rio, at first he was eating all that we gave him, two 1 cup sessions in the morning and evening and half a cup for lunch which was a total of 2.5 cups per day. Since then we've added a full extra cup ...
