Things You'll Need
- Slicker brush
- Metal combs (wide and regular tooth)
- Mat splitter
- Scissors
- Clippers
Instructions
Brush and comb the dog several times per week using slicker brushes, metal combs and mat splitters as needed. Chow Chows have lots of hair in their dense undercoats which you must remove to prevent tangling and knotting.
Remove shed hair before you bathe your Chow Chow. Use detangling products when you bathe your dog to make it easier to remove hair from the undercoat. These products also make the process less painful for your dog.
Clean ears regularly. Use scissors to clip out excess hair from the ears, but be careful to hold the dog's head still in case they jerk around.
Trim toenails when necessary with clippers.
