It is a very ancient breed because its head resembles that of a Tibetan Mastiff. Named after the lion. Chow Chow is a long-haired dog, so it needs regular care and grooming. So how to groom Chow Chow?

Chow Chow

For Chow Chow, a long-haired dog, how to groom it and how to make it more beautiful and beautiful is a headache. So below we will help you how to groom Chow Chow.

First of all, we need to prepare the tools for Chow Chow to learn beauty care:

A high-quality stainless steel dog comb may be very expensive, but it is necessary for long-lasting use.

A pair of well-balanced 7-inch scissors (1 inch = 2.54 cm). Be careful not to drop it from a height, as this will damage the blade and balance of the scissors.

A medium bristle brush and a medium pin comb, as well as a good pair of nail clippers and styptic powder. There are also high-quality hair care oils and bath gels suitable for hair quality.

Note: Be sure not to use human bath waves, because the pH of human skin and canine skin are different!

Finally, you need to prepare a hair dryer. It is recommended to use a floor-standing one, but a hand-held hair dryer is also sufficient.

The step of cutting nails is the fastest but not the easiest to achieve. It is very necessary to cut nails once a week. Nail clippers should be used according to the correct steps in the instructions. Sometimes, nails bleed because they are cut too short. At this time, styptic powder is very useful. I am very picky about Chow Chow foot grooming because Chow Chows have the most beautiful round, compact feet of all dogs. Proper grooming can keep their feet in the correct shape and allow them to walk on their own toes. The hair between their toes can cause their toes to spread apart and make them slippery when walking on slippery surfaces. Another thing is that they collect dust under their feet when they walk around the house.

Now, your Chow Chow needs a bath. Before each bath, it is best to put some oily eye wash in their eyes to prevent the bath liquid from irritating the eyes. When taking a bath, first wet the hair thoroughly, then use bath soap and rub it vigorously (note, do not scratch the skin) to fully foam it. When its whole body is full of foam, you can rinse it. Rinsing is the most important step in bathing. Make sure there is no residue of bath liquid left, as this will be very harmful to their skin. After rinsing, dry your pet in the bathtub and make sure the water is out of its ears.

The next step is to blow the air. At this time, you should let your Chow Chow lie down on its side. At first, this work may have to be completed by two people, but be sure to make it obey you in the end. When blow-drying, you should start with the hair on your abdomen and legs, and then gradually work your way up to your spine. Note that the wind must be strong enough that you can see the skin of even the hairiest Chow. After drying, switch to the other side, and finally let it stand up to dry the upper hair.

Bathing should be once a month, but participating Chow Chows need to bathe every week. Don’t listen to others who tell you that bathing every week will cause the hair to fall off. If you use professional bath soap and hair care oil, plus good nutrition, Your Chow Chow won’t be like this! After your Chow Chow’s hair is completely combed, you can use clippers to repair the hair that is too long and affects the overall outline. Then gently apply a thin layer of hair care oil all over its body, and the beauty work is done!

The weekly care for a Chow Chow that takes a bath once a month can start with combing. Let it lie on its side and comb the hair on its abdomen and legs first, and then gradually comb it to the upper part of the body. Note that it should be combed to the roots of the hair each time. . It’s best to apply hair oil while combing, because hair without moisture can easily be pulled out when combing. The final thing to remember is that short hair should be combed with a brush, while long hair should be combed with a pin.

Warm Tips: Some friends think that regular grooming of Chow Chow is a waste. In fact, regular pet grooming can not only make Chow Chow more beautiful, but also remove bugs and bacteria on the surface of Chow Chow’s body. , make the Chow healthier, so as an owner, don’t be stingy on the beauty expenses and affect the health of the Chow.
