The vet said that the surgery she would need would cost a couple of thousan...

My chows tail

Bear has been biting her tail once in a while and when I decided to check she flinched and run away, I was trying to be as gentle as possible and with a little struggle I was able to see it. Looked like irritation and a little bit of blood, I cleaned it as best as I could and put peroxide on it. Did...

I want to get my chows hair cut for the summer, a tr...

Re: My chow making odd noise

Thank you for replying!! It's good to know that as they grow they don't eat as much, which is comforting to know. The noise sounds scary, I didn't know that they do those noises, is there a reason why they do it? when she does, she shakes, like trembling and like you described it, half growl, half s...
