RSPCA Cymru is appealing for information after a stray chow chow dog was found in Cardiff with a "significant" skin condition. Local dog wardens collected the dog on May 28, but an owner hasn't been found - despite the dog being microchipped.
Collected in Roath, an RSPCA deputy chief inspector said that the wardens didn't initially realise the extent of the dog's skin condition due to the thickness of his fur, but that he had yelped when they attempted to put a collar on him.
Gemma Black, RSPCA deputy chief inspector, said: “This poor dog was found with a significant skin condition on his back, neck and face. He also has bad eyes. When he was found by the dog wardens they didn’t realise the extent of his skin condition due to his thick fur, but he yelped when they put a collar on him. When his fur was clipped back the seriousness of his skin condition was discovered.
