No, chow chows don’t smell bad. They have hardly any ‘doggy’ odor and like to keep themselves clean.
To keep them smelling sweet there are just a few things to do:
- Clean their paws after muddy walks
- Keep their teeth and gums healthy with dental chewies
- Avoid fish-based foods
- Brush them every couple of days
- Bath them every 6-8 weeks – starting from when they’re puppies
- Visit a groomer every couple of months for some professional deshedding
