CHINESE CHONGQING DOG

Exercise

It requires a vigorous amount of activity for about an hour on a daily basis. They make great jog companion and need long, brisk walk in their regular schedule. They enjoy playing and romping in an enclosed aream but allow them to play under supervision.

Grooming

The dog does not require much maintenance wherein just an occasional wiping with a damp cloth will keep it clean. Bathe them only when necessary with a quality dog shampoo and keep a check of its ears regularly. Other grooming sessions include trimming of nails if they grow too long and brushing its teeth to prevent infection and bad odor.

Health Problems

The only issue that the dog is prone to skin problems and even can suffer from contact allergies or food-based allergies. Other issues it may inherit are hip dysplasia, patellar luxation, progressive retinal atrophy, collapsed trachea, cataracts, and hypothyroidism.

Training

It has its independent mindset, which makes teaching difficult. They require a firm and consistent method of giving them treats and praises. Teach your pet to walk on a leash without pulling and later shorten up their strap so that it cannot leave the leader’s side. Take them to obedience classes and let them interact with neighbors and other pets from their childhood.

Feeding

Give the dog two to three times high-quality dry dog food to improve its hunting instinct. It also needs 30% of protein and 20% of fat in its diet.
