Shy to poop....

Hello, I plan to take my chow on a road in the near future just up down in the Northeast. However, it never came to my attention but the more I thought of it my chow never poops while someone is there. He would only poop off leash and off in the corner when no one is around. I would try to find him ...

Re: Puppy classes?

I bought 4 training classes and I took my chow to 1 and haven't gone back since ~6months. It didn't really help, they taught us basics such as calling, crate, and other basic calls. To be honest my chow does what he wants but if I want him somewhere he knows because I will tap his butt. The name cal...

Re: How often do they shower?

I was also curious about this question and I got really confused by what I was reading. I bathe my chow once a month and his coat looks fine (he is only 10months) I am not experience chow owner by any means but we like him smelling nice. Not to mention I bathe him more since he goes to park quick of...

Yup, he went on a small animal kill frenzy (2 animals so far and all this week) =/ hopefully this does not make him attack random small dogs.

Re: Bloody poop...

Update on the chow.. He has been so much better lately no bloody poop but still on chicken&rice diet at the moment. I need to switch him off of blue buffalo. We try not to over feed him during the night time which we believe is the cause for the late night bathroom breaks. However he isn't a mor...

Re: Bloody poop...

Yup, I was aware of the China jerky from a friend so I never bought anything made from China. I made sure this product was made in USA. I believe I am going to stay away from jerky in general unless its human grade.

Hello guys, So my chow recently has been doing something new. It has been really hot lately in NJ area so we would let him out to do his business and he would run back in from the basement door. Usually he would watch at the gate quietly. Now, he whimpers then barks wanting back in from the basement...

Interceptor vs heartgard?

Hello,
Po is 8months now and he is almost done with his 6month of Heartgard, 2 more dosage left. I maybe a worrywart but I would want most protection for my little guy since he randomly eats poop in our backyard b/c of stray cats. Should I swap to Interceptor?

Thanks!
