How Do You Care For A Chinese Shar-Pei?
The Chinese shar-pei is intelligent, playful and headstrong with a stubborn streak. These dogs are also dominant and will try to run your house if you let them. Early training is essential to establish your position as head of household. Have your Chinese shar-pei vaccinated when you first get him, and have him get booster vaccinations according to the schedule your veterinarian recommends to maintain the dog’s immunity to disease. Consult your veterinarian about flea control products, heartworm preventative treatments and worming your dog. Feed your Chinese shar-pei high-grade dog food. The first ingredient should be meat. Crude protein should be 22 to 26 percent and crude fat no less than 20 percent. Also, the fiber content needs to be 4 percent or less. Socialize your Chinese shar-pei at a very early age to be with children and other pets and dogs. They’re very playful with children but can be aggressive with other dogs. Avoid using a sharp voice when training your Chinese shar-pei.
