Today, the editor will bring you relevant knowledge about the life span of the Chow Chow. I hope that the editor’s good intentions can give everyone A little help from a friend who raises Chow Chow.

How long is the life span of a Chow Chow?

The longest life span of a Chow Chow ever lived was 34 years old. This is definitely the longevity among Chow Chows. Generally speaking, the average lifespan of a Chow Chow is between 12 and 15 years. Chow Chows before 8 months or 1 year old are in their early childhood, which is also a critical period for physical growth. 2-5 years old is the prime period of Chow Chow. Chow Chow enters middle age at 6 or 7 years old, and most of them will gradually show their age starting from the age of 7.

Methods and reasons for extending the life span of Chow Chow:

Reason 1: Don’t feed too much meat

Chow Chow should not be fed too much meat, otherwise skin problems will occur. The longest meal should be rice as it is good for their digestive system and makes their coat shiny.

Reason 2: Pica

Chow Chows all have pica. Anything that can be swallowed on the ground is their prey. Be careful not to let it pick up food.

Reason three: snacks

Chows are not allowed to eat chocolate, pepper, or ginger. Don’t feed raw eggs but cook them. Feed less bananas. Do not feed ordinary milk, otherwise it will cause diarrhea.

Reason 4: Don’t sleep with cool breeze

Try not to let the cool breeze blow in the room when your Chow is sleeping, otherwise he will catch a cold easily.

Reason 5: Don’t let your Chow eat leftovers

Although you like your Chow very much, don’t let your little Chow often eat human leftovers, especially some “greasy and watery” meals. These meals are not good for the Chow. Because dogs have different nutritional needs than humans, feeding chows with human meals would not only be time-consuming and troublesome, but it would also be difficult for chows to absorb balanced nutrition and they would also be prone to illness.

Reason 6: Don’t let your Chow eat food that is difficult to digest

It is best to feed Chow Chow soaked dog food, and do not feed eggs, offal, etc. Chow Chow cannot digest these things and may easily cause diarrhea. Generally speaking, you can put some dog food in the rice porridge to feed it. At the same time, be careful not to let your Chow swallow hard objects: such as ribs, chicken bones, or fish bones, because they will stay in the throat and then break into pieces. If it is not left in the throat, it will slip into the body and pierce the stomach wall and intestines, which is even more dangerous and will cause internal bleeding in the Chow. In serious cases, it will affect the life of the Chow

Reason 7: Don’t let your Chow eat too much

looseDon’t eat too much for your lion at each meal, just follow the dog food instructions. If you make it yourself, just feed it in a small pot, but not too much to avoid indigestion in the Chow. Chow puppies before three months old can be fed four times a day, and the feeding time should be fixed. If there is no food left after one feeding, and the Chow does not leave the food plate for a long time, add a little food the next time. But there should be no leftover food.

Reason 8: Vaccine

The Chow Chow must be vaccinated, and then buy deworming medicine for the Chow Chow.
