Points of raising Chow Chow

Chow Chow is strong, elegant and arrogant, but one of the problems of raising Chow Chow is its saliva, not because of its large amount of saliva, but because its "scarf" is too thick, there is no place for the saliva to flow out, and the saliva can only flow. It remains on the hair, so the most troublesome thing for a Chow to clean up is a mouth full of saliva. The Chow Chow who just took a bath may be full of saliva after a while, so the hair on the corner of the Chow Chow's mouth should be repaired frequently.

The genetic diseases of the Chow Chow are: Entropion, hip dysplasia. Common diseases: mites, filariasis, parvovirus enteritis, keratitis, fleas, eczema, canine pyoderma, allergic dermatitis, endocrine dysfunction, hypothyroidism, hyperadrenalism, excess estrogen, etc.

The Chow Chow has a relatively strong ability to learn to use the toilet at a fixed point, so the breeder does not need to spend too much energy on teaching it, but it is best to give up other training early, its arrogant personality may make people collapse. So try not to force it to do things it doesn't want to do, it's better to let it go.

Because the Chow Chow does not like to exercise, the demand for things is not particularly large, and it is not too much to feed twice a day. For Chow Chow, the skin is not particularly good, and it is easy to cause skin diseases. Therefore, breeders who make their own dog food should be careful not to use too much meat. You can give it some vitamins or protein powder, soak it in warm water, and feed it. It is best to regularly expel internal and external parasites for it. Thick hair and fragile skin can easily cause skin problems.

Breeders do not give it some high-calorie food. Breeders should know that chocolate and onions can be said to be dog killers. Don't feed them. As for meats that are prone to skin disease recurrence, such as beef and chicken, feed as little as possible.

Only by paying more attention to daily care and diet control can dogs grow up healthily. The requirements for the Chow Chow cannot be too high, let it do whatever it wants, who makes the Chow Chow arrogant!
