Hello. it would help if you had posted a picture of your pet, but these chowchows are all professionally bathed, blown dry & trimmed. Most chows are in desperate need of bathing, stripping out the undercoat & scissor trimming. This can make a huge difference in appearance. I am sure your pet is beautiful, but not everyone can have hair like a model! Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
