Ants are a nuisance to animals and people alike. They can cause a lot of trouble for being such tiny little creatures. It’s important to keep an eye on your Chow Chow and other dogs in the home to make sure they don’t get themselves into ants when outdoors. Some dogs may have allergic reactions to ant bites.
