How to Groom a Chow's Hair
- 1). Stand the dog on a grooming table or squarely in front of you while you sit on the floor.
- 2). Spray a light conditioner, coat dressing or anti-static spray on the back and hind quarters of the dog to prevent static and hair breakage.
- 3). Part the hair mid way up the legs and brush from the skin to the end of the hair with the small slicker brush. Continue to make parts up the legs and brush starting from the skin until you reach the tail and have brushed both legs.
- 4). Part the hair on the hindquarters and brush from the skin to the end of the hair with the large pin brush. Go over the same spot a few times to capture all of the dead and loose hairs. Continue parting and brushing all the way to the dog's neck and on the sides, applying conditioner, anti-static spray or coat dressing as you brush.
- 5). Brush the chest with the large pin brush and the underbelly with the small slicker brush. Lay the dog down to reach the underbelly if you are not using a grooming table.
- 6). Comb the dog's face and head with the fine toothed comb.
- 7). Trim any fly away or longer hairs around the body and trim hair around the anus to prevent feces from sticking to the coat.
