How to Care for a Japanese Chin

A Japanese Chin is a tiny, oriental dog with a long coat. It is the perfect apartment dog because it requires only a small amount of exercise. However, this dog also requires a lot of care. Follow these guidelines to provide for your pet's needs.

Difficulty: Challenging

Instructions

1. Feed your Japanese Chin quality food. Feed him his native diet of Mandarin Chinese foods which include fish, pork, rice, greens and soy products.

2. Give your dog a daily vitamin supplement. Purchase a supplement that is loaded with fruits and vegetables.

3. Provide your pet with plenty of non-fluoridated water. Fluoridated water can molt their tooth enamel. Filtered water is best for this dog.

4. Add a half a teaspoon of pure Emu oil to your dog's food daily. Reduces shedding and provides the necessary fatty acids to care for your Chin's coat.

5. Massage your Japanese Chin every month with "Miracle Oil." Condition her coat and skin and touch helps relieve your dog's emotional and physical pain.

6. Bathe your Japanese Chin once a month with an herbal shampoo. Blow dry his hair when you are done to make sure he does not catch a cold. Trim his nails every two weeks and brush his teeth weekly.

7. Take your dog on a couple of short walks a day for exercise and bonding time. She will be at her happiest though when you are holding her.

Tips & Warnings

• If you must feed him dog food due to time constraints, it is recommended that you stick with organic dog such as Wysong.
• Dr. Bob Goldstein's Daily Health Nuggets For Dogs is a highly recommended supplement that is loaded with fruits and vegetables.
• If you are unable to take her on walks then let her run around the yard.
