Precautions for raising a Chow Chow

Things to keep in mind when raising a Chow Chow:

1. Eating vegetables indiscriminately

There are also vegetables that cannot be eaten by Chow Chow dogs, such as garlic, onions, peppers, etc., which will cause anemia and other problems in Chow Chow dogs. For vegetables, you can feed some carrots, Chinese cabbage and the like.

2. Overeating

The food intake of the Chow Chow is not large. Don't overeat it, as it will cause diarrhea, vomiting and other gastrointestinal problems in the dog in the long run. You must pay attention to the amount of food you feed. The daily food intake for adult dogs is about 250-300 grams of dog food. It is best to feed them twice a day, which is helpful to the health of Chow Chow dogs.

3. The temperature is too high

Every year, there are not a few Chow Chow dogs who die/sequelae due to heat stroke. Therefore, when the temperature exceeds 27 degrees in summer, we must give the Chow Chow a cool place to escape the summer heat, and give the Chow Chow a proper fan and air conditioner. In addition, be sure to ensure that the Chow Chow has enough clean water.

4. Gnaw the bones

Chow Chow really likes to eat bones, but not all bones are suitable for it to eat. If you often feed it bones, it may cause a series of health problems such as gastrointestinal tearing and constipation. Therefore, bones are not recommended for Chow Chow dogs at any age. You can also use trained dog snacks instead, such as small snacks such as chicken jerky, which can also grind your teeth to remove bad breath.

5. Put on clothes

Do not put clothes on the Chow Chow, because the hair of the Chow Chow is very thick, and it has the function of keeping out the cold. If you force it to wear clothes, the skin will be airtight and easily cause skin diseases.
