Hi all I have been interested in them all my life. As a child, I was only allowed 1cat, which was persian. I left home eventually and bought another persian. Then when I bought my house I wanted a dog but with the two persians I thought I wouldn't be able to cope with extra grooming of a chow so we ...

We have 2 dogs. Hugo, my 8mnth old purebred pedigree red rough chow and Horten, my 1 yr old spoodle.

Thanks for the reply. Good to know. I don't know that it's that ecpensive really. I pay $65.00 AUD for a 7 kilogram bag.
Thanks again
Michelle

Maxwell will really get a thrill out of that lovely letter.
Take care of yourself.
Happy thoughts

I currently have my nearly 9 mnth old boy on Holistic Eagle Pack Large - Giant breed Puppy kibble, which he seems to enjoy. Is there any evidence to suggest that Innova is a superior food?
Thanks

Hi Swerve
OMG that's an awful thing to happen. I would've written sooner but have just got back from a few days away (no comp). Hope your family is recovered fully now.
Hugs to the doggies.

Hi
I have 1 Chow, 1 Spoodle and 1 Persian cat. Chow is 8 mnths old and the cat is 15 1/2. They get on fine.

What a relief! Great news.

Got my baby home, he has had a little water and is now asleep. I will offer him a little food later if he wants.
Thanks for your kind thoughts and words.
Phew it's over,
Michelle

Hi
The vet has just called and the operation went well, wasn't too inavasive either. Luckily the other testes(the undescended one) was easily accessable. So I can colect my baby at 3.30pm.. I have made up a lovely bed for us.
Thanks
Michelle

Hi just wanted to say I'm nervous. I've read about Chow being poor anaesthetic candidates and my boy 8 months is a really loud snorer and snorter which makes me think it could heighten the risks because of shalow breathing or something. I'm sorry I am just nervous I love Hugo so much, he is like our...

Hi all,
With the Gentle Leader, would you recommend the large size for a Chow?
Thanks.

Hi I heard of an apple sour tasting spray, sorry not sure of it's proper name. Maybe if it doesn't sting too bad, you could get something fowl tasting to stop them nibbling on their stitches. Poor you, must be tired too as well as the girls. It will soon be over and all recovered. Hugs to you all Mi...

Thank you all for your well wishes. Will let you know how he is on Thurs afternoon when I pick him up.
Michelle.

Hi
Just wanted to let you know my boy is going in on Thursday for desexing. I know how you're feeling. They will be fine and chasing squirrells in no time, I'm sure.
Hugs
Michelle

My 8 month old boy is being desexed next Thursday. Only one testicle is down. So they are going to do some investigating to find the other one. Hope all goes well, my poor baby. I'm assuming it's more invasive than a regular two testicle desexing, so extra gentle cuddle and love are on the way. Have...

Thanks soo much guys! Will go and get some today. Can I just ask why you give it soaked in water?
Thanks again.

Hi I hope you don't mind me asking you a question. I know you're in Australia too and I have been searching and searching the diet section on here, but all the recommended brands aren't availabe here as you probably know. What do you feed your chow? I have mine on Purina puppy (pink bag) for breakfa...

Thanks Swerve.

Hi all
My chow 7months, has a green discharge from his penis. Is this normal? He is not desexed yet. It doesn't seem to bother him.
Thanks in advance
Michelle (Hugo's Mum)

I'm so sorry to hear that. That is just dreadful. Take care of yourself, and hugs to both of you .

Hi Thanks for the advice of diet, found great info in the right section. My next concern is I live in Queensland, Australia and it is averaging about 32 degrees celcius from about 10am on. (Sorry not sure of conversion into fahrenheit). I walk my 7 month old chow about 8am 2-3 mornings a week. It's ...

Hi I have a 7 month old chow chow, red rough coat. He is a delight. We live in Qld Australia and I am in need of some advice. Everywhere I look I get conflicting advice on his diet and whether or not to have entropian surgery. So I will ask firstly of a complete diet for the chow chow please? Thanks...
