Hi all,

This is my female Chow.
3 years old


Attached thumbnail(s)

Haven't mate b4. Neutered already.

Not everyday, I just comb her coat once in 2-3 days. Shower once in 2 weeks, full groom once a month.
My experience as well as a couple of Chow owners, we find California dog food is 1 of the best for Chows, the coat grows much better in an obvious way, smoother n stronger. I've tried other dog foods, the fur is rougher n sheds a lot.

Hope this helps

It varies IMHO, usually about 4 months?

This is my Chow a month ago right after grooming, she looks so round. Usually after grooming, we nickname her Ah-Boy because she looks like male Chow.
Notice her reverse-heart shaped tongue?




Does any1's Chow sleep like this?

Hi AntonioKane,

Yes, mine is female & very choosy too! That's y she's smaller compared to other female Chows of the same age, as sometimes she don't eat at all.
Sometimes she have mood swing, but most of the time is when she felt cheated. Sometimes we tell her that we're going out with her, by saying "KAI KAI", but suddenly change of plans, then she'll feel disappointed, shows right on her face.

But generally Chows r like this, stubborn & moody.

How's the California food doing to your Chow? Any improvement on her coat & health?

That's good to know. I realised that nowadays my Chow always finishes her food, getting fatter & fatter

If u're interested in fishes, do search for MACROTRIX AQUATICS, managed by my friend. He imports rare fishes into M'sia & does sourcing too.
He has a FB page & a shop with 48 aquariums.

So sorry to hear that, must be hard for you.
Take care

We should have a Chow Chow gathering

My Chow only stay in air conditioned room during night time as she sleeps with me.
Day time, I'll just put a table fan on the floor, pointing towards the spot she usually sleeps.

I have no idea which shampoo could help to overcome. You might want to change your dog's diet or its food.
Try Tuscan Natural (previously named California Natural), it claims to prevent itch. I've been feeding my Chow Chow on this brand, so far so good, don't have any skin problem.
