What causes fatal bloat?

What causes fatal BLOAT in Chows. I have had many Chows and never heard of the problem except in horses. Is it their food - or what?

Re: My new "Beware of Dog" sign

Well - that sign wouldn't work if I were your burglar ! I'd say, "OH MY GOD, Look at that prescious baby. I have to go in and see him; I have to hug him." Then, "Oh, look at you! Your are the sweetest, prettiest thing ever!" Then I would probably lay down on your rug and be suffo...

Re: We lost Missy to bloat today

I am so sad for you and your family ....... I take the loss of anyone's Chow very much to my own heart and grief. I lost a (human) child of mine at 6 years of age; and that was 40 years ago. I have transfered all the love I had left to give to every Chow I ever had; every Chow I ever lost, and into ...

Re: We just lost our Suki girl.....

And - scenarios you have asked for; I have a thousand. I honestly do not think that anyone could go wrong with having a Chow if they realize their sensitivity is stronger than other breeds, their loyalty is stronger that other dogs, their memory is phenomenal - for good and for bad events, and their...

Re: We just lost our Suki girl.....

If you are thinking about getting a Chow Chow, get one as young as possible. Observe her parents if at all possible. Impart into her from day one the love, care, hugs and closeness you gave Suki girl. I believe you will be highly rewarded. If you are like me; the only way to ease the heartache of lo...

Re: blue vs. other colors

The parents were free breeders and on site and they had the free-roam of the owners property. So, I get there and the Mom and Dad deci...

Re: chow pup and small dog pack

This post is so cute and funny. My huge chow has 2 cats and her other best friends are 2 tea-cup teeny, tiny Chihuahuas and a young, but full grown, Great Dane.
The most amazing part of this story is - I have a great-grandson (baby) named Carter Cash ! For real !!!

blue vs. other colors

I noticed in the article section that a writer had a blue chow and had heard that the blues temperment is sweeter. Might sound like hog-wash to some people, but I have had red, cinnamins, and blues. The blues do seem to be calmer and more sociable. In the seventies I was a Siamese cat lover. At any ...

Re: Chow Emergencies

I had barely survived the un-timely death of a young chow; I was NUTS for about 3 months. So, when I got Luna, I made the decision to not have her spade in the hopes to have little Lunas around. In the beginning, Luna came into heat on Feb. 14th and exactly 6 months later for about 5 1/2 years. I no...
