Chow chow

Chow chow: full grooming every 6–8 weeks. Between visits: bath (no haircut) every 3–4 weeks.

Two or three times a week, daily during shedding season: a slicker brush, then a comb. The undercoat mats right at the skin while the coat looks fluffy outside. Brush with a slicker against the hair growth, then comb down to the skin: ruff, hind legs and behind the ears first.

Don’t cut or pull them out at home: it hurts and damages the coat. Bring your pet to us: small mats we gently work out; a heavily felted coat we clip short and it grows back. To keep mats away: two or three times a week, daily during shedding season: a slicker brush, then a comb.

Yes, heavily — in spring and autumn.

From four months: once all vaccinations are done and two weeks have passed since the last one. Before that, it’s up to the breeder, or to you at home, to get the puppy used to the comb and the bath.

On a dog’s or cat’s first visit to our salon, Royal SPA, full grooming (including hand stripping) and cat services are 20% cheaper. A dog bath without a haircut, nails, mat removal and the individual service are not discounted. No code needed: the front desk applies it at payment. There is a second discount too: −10% on the next visit when you book it in the salon right after the service. Discounts don’t combine.
