Re: Meat (Chicken/Beef) for Chow

If your chow does not have any alleries or intolerance to them then it's perfectly fine. Mine does well with beef, fresh lamb, rabbit and pork but only the occasional chicken as she develops an intolerance to chicken if taken too often. She scratches like crazy with fish so that is out of the equati...

Re: My chow's size

She still falls into the breed standard height for chows which is 16- 22inches at the shoulder. 43 cm is 16.93 inches. Girls are 16-20 and guys are 18-22 usually. There are even smaller chow chows marketing people call them mini chows'. Translation: too small for breed standard or runts. There are a...

Re: Shampooing Chow

Before I discovered you could soap up first I used to shampoo twice. Reason was she was so dirty and first shampoo barely lathered and came up with gray or brown suds from the dirt. Now that I use soap beforehand I just shampoo once after for the scent and extra cleansing. The soap I use is dirt che...

I am sorry for the gross topic but I really want to feed my dog the right grain free food. Well the choices in the Phils. is limited and so far I have been feeding Orijen Adult and alternate with Go!

she knows your pomeranian and considers her a pack member so Maggie is perfectly safe. Your sister and her friend are very irresponsible but you have to step up. do not let another dog enter the personal space of Lily that is just asking for it. That poor Pom!

Re: MY CHOW ISN'T SLEEPING WITH ME ANY MORE

I think when they get older they want their personal space. It is also summertime and they do not like cuddling in warm weather especially when they have their full adult fur. Whatever bed we get Chestnut she prefers the cold tile or floor during the rest of the year especially summer. When we hit J...

Hi Pinoy51! Trust me, Sally's fur looks wayyyy better than pampered overprotected Chestnut. I pulled her out of VIP b/c she has grown resistant to ivermectin and the demodex is now out of control and her last shots resulted in puss filled lumps.

Hi! If you bought him in the Phils. Most likely would be a rough coat. Meaning the one that grows a long mane and lots of hair. A smooth coat would have no market in the Philippines as they are considerd short hair. We like our Chows shaggy in the Phils. I have yet to seea smooth anywhere in the Phi...

Re: Meet Joey

That is one handsome boy and he looks huge! He will probably be taller than Sally and more muscular than Simba. I'm glad he was adopted by you as he is sure to have a ready made pack with 3 chows and a family who will love him unconditionally. That is one lucky boy who will live a long happy life.

The solid blue tongue is a very good sign that your baby is pure breed. Im looking at the huge paws as well. Do you have a picture of the butt? Chows have very distinctive cotton ball butt. I am disturbed though that they sold her to you at under 2 months. Not very caring breeders. Hope it was at le...

I am addicted to my little girl Chestnut as well. But they are high maintenance dogs. Do not think of breeding him until he is two years old at least. That is advisable for female chows especially to make sure their organs and immune system are fully matured. I decided to have my girl spayed instead...

Re: Normal rate of hair regrowth

I had to shave my baby when she got a chronic case of demodex mange with bacterial nfection. It took six months minimum for people to identify her as a chow chow. Before that it was 'what breed is your dog'. Or no way is she pure chow is she half spitz? The worse was is she dying? Cancer? Chemo?

Re: Other breeds similar to Chow in temperament and behavior

Chunkymonkeys is right. The closest i can think of is the shar pei. They are booth aloof to strangers, territorial and a one master dog. They both hardly bark. Chows are cuddlier looking though and have less exercise requirements. They also have the tendency towards skin problems
