Health Care Tips
First-Time Owner?
As a first-time puppy parent, it’s natural to have questions about their health care.
Grooming:
- Coat Care: Pekingese have long, flowing coats that require regular grooming. Brush your puppy at least 2-3 times a week to prevent matting and tangling. Daily brushing is recommended during shedding seasons.
- Bathing: Bathe your Pekingese every 4-6 weeks or as needed. Use a gentle dog shampoo and be sure to rinse thoroughly to avoid skin irritation.
- Nail Trimming: Keep your puppy’s nails trimmed to prevent overgrowth and discomfort. Aim for trimming every 2-4 weeks.
Exercise:
- Daily Walks: Pekingese enjoy short walks and playtime. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise each day to keep them healthy and stimulated.
- Playtime: Engage in interactive play with toys, such as fetch or tug-of-war. Pekingese love to be entertained and will thrive with regular play.
Health Care:
- Regular Vet Visits: Schedule annual check-ups with your veterinarian for vaccinations and health assessments. Discuss dental care, as Pekingese are prone to dental issues.
- Dental Hygiene: Brush your puppy’s teeth regularly using dog-specific toothpaste. Dental chews can also help maintain oral health.
Diet and Nutrition:
- Quality Food: Feed your Pekingese high-quality dog food formulated for small breeds. Look for options with real meat as the first ingredient and essential nutrients.
- Portion Control: Follow the feeding guidelines on the food packaging, adjusting for your puppy’s age, weight, and activity level. Monitor their weight to prevent obesity.
Training:
- Socialization: Early socialization is crucial for Pekingese. Expose them to different people, pets, and environments to help them develop into well-rounded adults.
- Positive Reinforcement: Use positive reinforcement techniques, such as treats and praise, to train your puppy. Keep training sessions short and fun to maintain their interest.
Comfort and Environment:
- Safe Space: Create a comfortable space for your Pekingese with a cozy bed and blankets. They enjoy snuggling and should have a safe place to rest.
- Temperature Control: Pekingese can be sensitive to heat due to their flat faces. Ensure they have a cool place to relax during warm weather and avoid strenuous exercise in high temperatures.
