A task that can be enjoyable for both the dog and owner alike, Pekingese Grooming does not need to be a chore or a struggle - as long as the correct methods and equipment are used.
Owners must always make sure that they first and foremost have the correct equipment when Grooming the Pekingese. Using incorrect equipment can damage the coat extensively and cause unnecessary distress when Grooming the Pekingese. Furthermore, when brushing the Pekingese's coat, the groomer should always brush in the way in which the coat grows naturally and make sure to remove any loose hair, by hand, which may be lying under the coat.
A key fact to consider for any Pekingese owner is that too much bathing can cause permanent damage to the coat and therefore every time Pekingese is groomed, it is not essential to bathe them.
The Pekingese's face should be checked daily and kept clean, especially around the eyes. Other key points to consider when Grooming are to make sure that the Pekingese's ears are free from hair and wax build up and that their nails are clipped at regular intervals, especially if the breed does not walk extensively on a paved area.
