Care Tips
from Dr. Jessica Greenberg, Associate VeterinarianWatch out for your Chow’s allergies.
Chows are prone to skin allergies, like dermatitis, so keep an eye out for irritated areas of the skin. Skin can become red, flaky, and itchy. The irritation can also spread fairly quickly. Talk to your vet about giving your dog allergy medication, or about topical ointments and treatments that can help ease irritation.
Look out for your Chow’s eyes.
Chow Chows have a face shape that makes them more prone to eye issues, like entropion and “cherry eye.” Watch out for anything that could potentially damage the eyes and talk to your vet about treating any eye irritations.
Screen your Chowie for Glaucoma.
Regular eye exams at the vet, including pressure checks, should be done to ensure your Chow isn’t at risk for Glaucoma. Pressure checks are painless and done in the vet office. Be aware of enlarged globes or color changes to the eyes.

Training Tips
from Dr. Jessica Greenberg, Associate VeterinarianDon’t train your puppy to jump on people.
Sometimes, owners inadvertently train their dogs to jump on people. When they’re puppies, it’s cute, but it’s different when they’re suddenly big dogs with muddy paws! When your Chowie puppy jumps on you, ignore them entirely and turn your back to them. After they calm down, you can continue what you were doing before. -RichardLovejoy,ProfessionalRemoteDogTrainer
Provide lots of socialization.
Give your Chowie plenty of opportunities to socialize with people they don’t know and other dogs. It’s also important to introduce them to different environments that are unfamiliar to them to further help with socialization. -LaurieWilliams,CertifiedProfessionalDogTrainer
Train early with positive reinforcement.
Start a positive reinforcement based training program as soon as possible and be consistent with your training. Add daily exercise enrichment activities to further your dogs training, and crate training is also recommended early in your training. Get the dog used to spending some time alone to avoid separation anxiety. -LaurieWilliams,CertifiedProfessionalDogTrainer
