How do I look after my shar pei?

Shar Peis require minimal care. Comb it with a good bristle brush every day and its unique coat will be in great shape. Bathe it from time to time in warm water using a shampoo that was recommended by your veterinarian. Contrary to popular opinion, it is not necessary to bathe your Shar-Pei every week. This kind of approach can make its skin too dry and spoil the hair. It is recommended to wash your dog only when it starts to smell and only use the shampoo recommended by the veterinarian.

Claws of Shar-Pei grow really fast, so you will have to cut them really often. Train your puppy not to resist, when you touch it – it will help you with grooming in the future.

This breed has very small ears, so they have to be cleaned regularly. In accordance with unique features of your dog, it should be done once per week or two times per month. It is recommended to clean dog's earth with cotton tampons with a special liquid prescribed by your veterinarian. Do not use cotton sticks! Your dog will be very happy if you will take care of its eyes, ears, and mouth.
