How to brush a puppy?
Before brushing, give a long-lasting chew to keep the puppy still. Use a dog pin brush, starting at the back or legs, lifting at a 45-degree angle to the roots without poking the skin. Puppies have little patience, so reward or release them when restless.
What is the Chow Chow (rough-coated) like?
The 'songmao dog' usually means the Chow Chow. Fierce-looking but actually docile and quiet, it rarely barks. But it is not as tame as other pets - stubborn, it won't be pulled back even by its owner, and is hard to train. It snores in sleep, hard for light sleepers; its thick coat sheds heavily, tough to manage in shedding season.
I have a Teddy puppy and need to give metronidazole tablets; what dose? I bought 0.2g tablets.

How to raise a Golden Retriever?
Before the Golden puppy finishes its vaccines, avoid taking it out to prevent infection. If healthy, start vaccines at 2 months: three shots 21 days apart. As a large breed, it needs suitable food for bones. Its long coat needs frequent brushing to avoid mats and improve skin. Droopy ears easily get infections, so check them regularly and clean with ear solution if abnormal.
What is a long-haired Corgi like?
A long-haired Corgi has very soft, fluffy fur that makes you want to pet it, but long coats tangle easily, so it needs frequent brushing and is harder to care for than a short-haired Corgi. In personality, long-haired and short-haired Corgis are both lively and friendly and love to stay close to their owners, though they may play the occasional prank. Strictly speaking, long-haired Corgis are a disqualification in shows and not of a pure bloodline, and breeders rarely produce them, so they are hard to buy.
How to raise a long-haired terrier?
Feeding is like other dogs; choose age-appropriate food. Under one year use puppy food with coat-care ingredients like avocado or fish oil. After one year switch to adult food. Groom daily and watch skin health.
