I have been asked MANY times what is the best diet for a chow chow and in all honesty I simply cannot answer that one. 

Many breeders and owners have their own methods and the list below is OUR chows own weekly diet and should NOT be seen as nutritional advice from us.

This is OUR method only and has served us well for a long long time now.

We prefer the James Wellbeloved range of kibbles purely because they take out all the CRAP that ALWAYS goes into cheaper brands. 
These dried kibbles have the following extracted: Beef, wheat, soya, gluten, dairy products, eggs etc. and in there place are added nutritional BENEFITS.

Turkey offers white meat in sufficient quantities so as not to overwhelm the dogs system. It is gentle on their stomach’s and easily digestible.
Duck offers mild dark meat in sufficient quantities so as not to overwhelm the system. Easily digested too
Brown and Pearl Rice which is highly digestible source of carbohydrate and again gentle on the stomach
Oats which is an energy cereal with soluble fiber
Linseed Oil which is rich in omega-3 fatty acids
Sugar Beet is a natural provider of dietary fiber which is good for intestinal health
Alfalfa is a rich source of beta carotene antioxidant and provides essential trace minerals
Seaweed (Natural) is rich in iodine and rare trace elements
Yucca Extract which is a natural deodouriser

Also added is:
Antioxidants - Natural Vitamin E
Vitamins - A, D, E, and B Complex
Prebiotics - Chicory, rich in inulin which aids in maintaining health gut flora
Minerals - Calcium, Phosphorus, Zinc, Magnesium and Selenium for a healthy immune system

WE HAVE ALSO BEEN UTILISING, AS AN EXPERIMENT “AUTARKY ADULT” PURELY BECAUSE IT IS HYPOALLERGENIC AND HAS A “HIGH” VEGETABLE CONTENT.

Daily supplements are:

1 capsule of fish oil complex to help with muscle and joints.

1 capsule of glucosamine and chondroitin
Glucosamine occurs naturally in the body and helps maintain connective tissues. Chondroitin is also found naturally in your joints where it helps your body attract fluid in to the cartilage, acting rather like the human equivalent of a car's shock absorber for your limbs. The two ingredients work together perfectly to provide an optimum joint formulation.
 

On a monthly basis we add raw chopped spinach to their meals for 5 days in a row.
OUR Research has PROVEN this invaluable against skin conditions. 

Our chows NEVER suffer with Hot Spots anymore.
 

As already stated, THIS IS OUR DIET FOR OUR CHOWS AND SHOULD NOT BE SEEN AS NUTRITIONAL ADVICE IN GENERAL.

Some may say this is too varied, too much or even too little, BUT it works for our chows pure and simple. 

They are happy and healthy, maintain their weights without going over, keeps them agile and active when they feel it necessary, and sleep all night without disturbance.
