Care and Maintenance
Chow Chow dogs require regular grooming, exercise, and a well-balanced diet to stay healthy:
- Grooming
Chow Chows have a thick double coat that requires daily brushing to prevent mats and keep their skin and coat healthy. You can use a slicker brush to remove loose fur, paying special attention to the neck, legs, and tail. You should also bathe your Chow Chow every 6–8 weeks, using dog-specific shampoo and rinsing thoroughly. After bathing, you should use a cool air dryer to completely dry their coat.
- Exercise
Chow Chows are active dogs that need moderate exercise, such as daily walks and play with toys. However, they don’t tolerate high heat or humidity well, so you should avoid exercising them during hot periods of the day.
- Diet
Chow Chows are prone to obesity, so you should monitor their diet carefully. You should feed them a well-balanced dog food that meets AAFCO guidelines and is formulated for their life stage. You should also feed them multiple small meals throughout the day instead of one large meal.
- Training
Chow Chows can be independent and stubborn, so training can be challenging. You should use consistent, positive training techniques and short, engaging sessions.
- VaccinationsPuppies need a series of shots in their first year, and adult dogs need boosters every 1–3 years. You should keep a record of your Chow Chow’s vaccinations.
