Best time to spay a chow

Hi, I have my chow booked to get spayed, she's seven months old. Than I started doing some reading on the best age to get your dog spayed or neutered and came across alot of controversy over the timing of the surgery; some say it is to wait till they are completely emotionally and physically develop...

Re: Pet insurance

I think that is a great idea; that is what I decided to do to, to start a saving fund to have available for my chowdren if needed.

Re: Training puppy to come when called

Hi All, Thankyou for the feedback; my chow doesn't escape from the fence thankfully, that would be a little scarey as I live on a very busy street and neighbourhood with the houses very close. The fence keeps her in so am thankful for that. She just seems to want it to be her idea to come back in th...

Re: throwing up in the car

Hi, Thankyou all for your feedback, will see how she does on her next car trip; will be more prepared with towels and things and make sure her tummy is empty. She seems quite happy in the car, she was licking my daughter's arm when she threw-up so I don't think she is nervous it must be the motion. ...

throwing up in the car

So far her car rides have been limited to the ride home, which she didn't throw up than but I don't think she had eaten for a long time, whenever I've taken her for her vaccinations she throws u...

Walking my chow puppy

I was wondering if 2 20 minute walks are too much for a 4-month old chow. I heard somewhere that walking a chow too much when they are little is bad for their hips, I don't know if this is true or not. I took her for her first 20 minute walk and she seemed to really enjoy it. Plus she gets to meet p...

Finding the right vet for your chow

When I bought my puppy to the vet for her first visit the vet told me that chows were bred for two things, for food, and for fighting; I replied with that was a long time ago and they have now been bred as pets for many years. In other ways she seemed very good but ...
