Start creatingCare Tips for Shar Peis
Skin Care: Regularly clean and dry the folds of your Shar Pei's skin to prevent infections and irritation, as their distinctive wrinkles can trap moisture and debris.
Exercise: Ensure your Shar Pei gets moderate daily exercise to maintain a healthy weight and support their overall well-being, but avoid over-exertion, especially in hot weather due to their susceptibility to overheating.
Diet and Nutrition: Feed your Shar Pei a balanced diet tailored to their age, size, and activity level, and monitor for food allergies, which are common in the breed.
