Thick undercoat plus guard hairs (Husky, Golden Retriever)
Chow Chow temperament
Chow Chows are independent and reserved, sometimes aloof or stubborn with strangers, and typically need a patient, confident groomer rather than a rushed one.
Grooming a Chow Chow
The extremely dense double coat is one of the most matting-prone in this list, especially around the mane, britches, and behind the ears - it needs thorough brushing down to the skin, not just the surface, to keep it from feeling like a chore every visit.
How often does a Chow Chow need grooming?
Every 8-12 weeks, with a de-shedding treatment during spring and fall shedding season.
Watch for matting
A Chow Chow's coat mats easily if brushing lapses. Severe matting typically adds $44 or more and can mean a full shave-down for your dog's comfort and safety, since careful de-matting takes real table time. See the matting guide for what each severity level looks like.
