If the fur of some Chows is very thick, you can also use a steel-toothed comb. When combing, first let the Chow stand on a relatively clean table and use the comb to comb from the butt to the head. First use one hand to hold down the hair, and then comb out the mess bit by bit. Comb your hair first, then your tail.
