Use a steel-toothed comb with teeth spaced about one-eighth of an inch apart. Let the Chow Chow stand on a stable, non-slip surface.

First, brush the fur with low salt water to remove dust, etc. If the fur is messy, you should be very gentle. Then press the hair with one hand and gently brush it part by part in the direction of the head. Head to tail: Start at the head and work your way systematically toward the tail, remembering: Gently comb the chest and underbody. Because the hair behind the ears and under the forelegs is particularly prone to tangles, special care must be taken when combing. Use a comb to comb short leg hair as well, remember to comb the leg hair upwards. Check that the ears are clean and, if necessary, wipe them gently with a damp towel. Make sure to dry your eyes. The final job is to brush the hair from the tail to the head, which will increase the charm of the Chow Chow.

Like other dogs, Chow Chows shed twice a year and will lose hair severely when they reach adulthood. Of course, when your Chow is losing hair, it should be groomed more frequently.

Your Chow Chow should not be bathed too frequently. It is best to bathe your Chow no more than two to three times a year. The outer coat of an adult Chow Chow should be rough to the touch. Excessive bathing will remove the oil and make the coat feel fluffy.

It is easy to buy special dog shampoos, including medicated ones, and tear-free shampoos are also very useful. Let your Chow stand on a rubber mat in the bathroom to prevent slipping, wet him with warm water, and then use shampoo, but be especially careful not to get the shampoo in his eyes and ears. Rinse thoroughly with warm water
