I have a Chow Chow and she(wikket) has terrible breath I've looked at her teeth and have cleaned them but they look alright. I have also given her greenies. Is there anything I could be missing?
How are these dogs with people with asthma? Will they inflame it?
I have a 2 year old male Chow Chow. I am at work about 8-9 hours a day and I was wondering if it would be a good idea to get a female companion for him to play with during the day? He has done well with female dogs - playing and interacting. I am unsure if Chow Chows do well with other dogs in the house. Any tips would be great.
I think another dog would be a great addition for your pet. I have a Chow name Meeko. He's very sweet and I'm told all the time he doesn't act like a normal chow in that he's not aggressive and how playful he is. He loves to play with strange dogs, even on his turf. He's very gentle with small dogs and was a great father to his puppies never biting them, even when they were days old.
My Chow Chow loves other dogs. However he grew up with another dog. At one point it was just my chow chow for a few months (after losing my other dog) ,and when I would take him walking he would make a crying noise when he saw another dog and wanted to go play. He was 3 years old at the time. So, I got another dog and it worked out well. And He gets alone very well with another dog I got a couple years ago too (total of 3 dogs counting the chow chow). I would only recommend you getting another dog if he is used to dogs and grew up that way. It really doesn't matter on the breed. My brother once had golden retriever and after she was grown they decided to get a second dog as a companion. However, it didn't work out and they had to find another home for the second dog.
My 3 month old chow puppy has hazel colored eyes will they change to color to brown? If so, at what age. Also he still has alot of greyish brown with some light red. What color will he be and at what age will he change color. The bredder told me he would be cinnamon? what do you think?
The grayish brown you're probably referring to is more than likely your dog's undercoat. I have an adult cinnamon Chow he has the grayish undercoat going on as well. It's not big deal really, just wait for the full adult coat to over grow it and it'll be fine. Your dog is only 3 months old and won't have it's adult coat to grow in until about 6 months. Enjoy that puppy hair while you can because when it changes, it gets quite nappy.
Hello we have a 4 moth old chowchow that will not play with us. He runs away when we try. If anyone has any information on what we could try?
My puppy was the same way - kind of like a cat in that he decided when he wanted to play. As soon as I stopped thinking about him, he may slink around to play. However, he was pretty standoffish until about 6 months. He would always want me in his eyesight, but that was about it. Now I can't get him away from me even if I wanted to. He is about 1 year and three months and he just has to be chasing me, walking with me, performing for me whenever we are together. He will come and put his head on my lap if I am sitting down relaxing.
I have a younger female chow who loves to get massaged and brushed, but she is totally independent. She is about 7 months now, but prior to that I would have to sneak up on her and give her treats in order for her to stay around and play.
We have a 5 year old beautiful Chow Chow named Xena. We feed her very good holistic dog food and she is relatively healthy. She does have a bad breathing problem. It's as if her nose is totally clogged. She gets winded easily when running because she has to breathe through her mouth. She also snores badly and even when resting she breathes heavily. Can anything be done?
She probably has stenotic nares if it's a problem she's had since she was young. I work at a vet clinic and I have a chow puppy with the same problems. She breathes through her mouth a lot and weezes a lot. They told me when I have her spayed they can remove some tissue from her nostrils. It's a fairly common issue among chows and you might want to ask her vet about it! Hope this helped!
