Thank you so very much for all the info. I am very happy to hear that your Chow is on the mend. I will keep homeopathy in mind for CCL (if it happens). My vet did put him on a homeopathic remedy. His hair is growing back and his abscesses that he has had between his toes (for 4 years) have healed an...

My 5 year old Chow has been diagnosed with Alopecia. Melatonin and Lignan supplements stopped the hair loss for a while (1-2 years), but it is getting worse now. I read an article about homeopathy working for their Chow. Does anyone have experience with any alternative therapies that help with this ...

Yesterday, my 2 year old Chow somehow ripped off his dewclaw nail (the entire nail is gone). He doesn't act like he is in pain at all. He doesn't act like anything has happened at all. The only way I found out was all the blood in the house!! I have it all bandaged up. Had to use cornstarch to stop ...

My Chow is just over 1 years old. He is toilet trained to go outside. He does not have accidents at home. One morning about 1 month ago, something weird happened and I want to know why he did this. First thing in the morning, I sent him out to pee. I let him in about a half hour later. I was in the ...

Thank you for the video. It did make me smile. I am on vacation right now and am missing my 1 year old Chow (Jin Jin) so much!!!!

I want to make some homemade dog biscuits. Does anyone have a recipe?

Just got my new puppy. Trying to decide if I should get pet insurance. The breeder registered the pup for a six week trial with Petsecure. I am having trouble deciding if I should continue and if so, what level (4 levels of coverage offered).

I just got my new Chow Pup and noticed that he has his front dew claws. Should they be removed or left?

Beautiful dog!

I am happy that Winston is doing okay. Hope he continues to improve. He looks so cute resting on the bed.

My red pup had such a black muzzle when we got him, we were worried that he might stay that way. He did not he lightened right up.

I would hate to do nothing and regret it later. Remember that dogs don't always show pain and can't let you know that they have a tummy ache (until it's too late sometimes). I have always heard that one should NEVER feed cooked bones of any type to a dog. They could perforate something and this coul...

I agree completely!

They are so smart. That reminds me of the time I bought a fruit flan. I didn't realize that Safeway did not use real cream in their icings/toppings. The Chows did and refused to have any!

Thanks again for all the very interesting and informative replies. A question to "Chowpups"...what is a water cooler pad bed ?

So Cute! Would love to see more pictures! I get my Chowling Feb 15th. Is this your first Chow? Did you get him a "Dog Bed" ? I am trying to decide if I should get this one a bed. He will be my 4th Chow Chow.

Thank you all for the replies. I am getting the impression that Chows' generally do not want a dog bed. Maybe they find the beds too warm? I have carpet in most of the house and I know that I would often have the dogs come up from the unfinished basement in the morning.

I have never owned a "dog bed" for my Chows. My previous Chows always just slept on the floors (carpet or tile or basement floor). They had the run of the house, so they just slept where ever they wanted to. I will be getting a new puppy next week and was wondering what most other people d...

I am impressed...what smart dogs Chows are!

Just saw all her dog pics on marthastewart.com. Soooooo Cute!! I can't wait to get my new baby Chowling (15 more days)!!!!!!!

My heart goes out for you. I just lost my dog in October. They say what goes around comes around and I pray that the breeder gets hers!!

Thank you all for the very interesting responses! I enjoyed and value all the different opinions. I decided to get the male. It was a tough decision. I know that every dog will have his/her own personality and how one raises them will influence behaviors also...but...my sister has a female (although...

I would like some opinions. Which is better and what are the differences between having a female Chow vs a male Chow. I have had 3 male chows.

Oh, Yoshi...you are such a "Chow"! I love it!!!!...I have been feeling a bit down. I am missing my Chow (lost him in October)and Yoshi's "thoughts" made me laugh!!! Thank you for that Yoshi!!!

So sorry to hear about your horrible experience. I am always fearful of that happening to me on the roads. Hope the rest of your year is happier!
