Grooming a Chow Chow Puppy through the cold winter season in Kangra

Let the weather set the grooming schedule, not the calendar. Crisp hill weather is comfortable for most dogs but harsh for short-coated ones in winter, which means coat and skin want checking more often through the cold winter season.

Preparing the home in Kangra
