The first estrus of a Chow Chow female dog is about 6-8 months after birth, when the dog’s reproductive organs are basically fully developed. However, due to factors such as climate, environment and growth conditions, some Chows come into estrus relatively early, and some Chows do not come into estrus until 10-12 months after birth. It is normal.
Usually adult Chow Chows go into estrus twice a year, mostly from March to May in spring and September to November in autumn. When a Chow Chow female dog is in estrus, red mucus will flow out of the vagina, which is commonly known as "menstruation". The estrus lasts for about 21 days. At this time, the dog will have frequent urination, decreased appetite, like to run outside, like to be close to male dogs, etc. .
During the period of estrus, if you plan to breed a Chow, you should pay attention to supplementing it with nutrients. You can give the dog some foods high in protein, calcium and vitamins, such as chicken breast, fish, cabbage, carrots and other foods. , cooked and chopped, added to dog food. If you don’t have time to make complementary food, you can also buy high-quality nutritional paste to feed your dog. If you do not plan to breed your dog, it is best to put on menstrual pants for it to prevent pregnancy and prevent bacterial invasion; if you take your dog out, you must pull the leash, because dogs in estrus tend to run around.
