Chow Chow’s are considered to be heaven sent dogs. Appointed to lick the pieces of the sky as God painted it, they are to be given the proper respect and care that is due to them. There are several points to note when taking care of this breed.

• Although they are adaptable to most climates, they should be kept inside.
• Respect the dog’s affection level; they are not fond of being hugged excessively and may take rowdiness as abuse.
• Daily walks for about 15 minute are required to keep them in shape and brushing 3 times a week with a steel comb, a slicker and a pin brush.
• A healthy diet needs to be followed with at least 2 to 3 cups of quality “chow” into 2 meals a day. This of course will depend on the how active the dog is.

Following this regimen will give you a healthy clean dog, and cleanliness is next to Godliness.
