Because of the large amounts of mucin, which gives the skin it’s flexibility and wrinkles, the skin itself tears relatively easily. On the other hand, the skin of Chinese Shar-Peis also heals relatively quickly with minimal amounts of scarring.

When caring for a healthy Chinese Shar-Pei, no extra care of the skin and coat needs to be taken beyond regular bathing and brushing when the dog is shedding. A simple bath in a good quality shampoo and a good towel dry is sufficient.

Normally, Chinese Shar-Pei do not shed year round, only every other season. Frequent brushing with a rubber curry comb helps with removing old dead hair and promotes new hair growth. This is particularly important when dealing with horse coats. It helps to keep their coat healthy.

Skin problems are one of the most common problems associated with Chinese Shar-Pei. Keeping their skin healthy and taking preventative precautions is an important part of being an owner of a Chinese Shar-Pei. Bath frequently with special medicated shampoo, oatmeal conditioner and your Pei should be fine.

However, it is possible for the entire bathing routine to be trained. Before filling the bathing area with water, reward your dog for getting into the bathing area and standing quietly with a treat. When the water is on, familiarize them with the sound of the water as well as the blow dryer before getting them completely wet. Reward them with treats for having good behavior during their bath time.

Hair Dryers – Hair dryers are an optional accessory for home bathing. Air drying is safe and effective but common sense is needed. Don’t allow wet dogs outside during cold water or to have access to dirt when wet. When using a hair dryer, never use dryers on the “high” setting unless you watch the dog at all times. Be careful not to use them near the bathing area where water can cause shock. Be careful not to burn the dog when using electric dryers.

Towels – Always have at least one or two towels on hand for drying your companion after a refreshing bath. Towels dry them to the best of your ability to help with air drying.

Drain Screen – Hair clogs are common when bathing your pet. Simply use a drain screen to protect your plumbing from hair buildup. They can consist of a nylon mesh placed in the drain or a built-in hair trap that can easily be cleaned.

Cotton Balls – Cotton balls can be placed in your pets ears to prevent water from running into your dogs ears.

Pet Shampoos – Like that of human shampoo, there are many types of pet shampoos as well to work on problem areas such as dry skin, itchy skin, fleas, etc. Be sure to use the right shampoo to keep your dog happy, healthy, and free from skin problems!

Plastic Pitcher – A large plastic pitcher is essential for wetting and rinsing your dog. Adjustable spray handles can be used on a garden hose as well but the spray velocity may not be too soothing for your beloved pooch. Be sure to use a gentle spray or pitcher for a gentle rinse.

Eye ointment – Contact your veterinarian regarding recommending a good eye ointment to place in your dogs eyes. Ointment can prevent chemical damage.

Though they are thought to be a great convenience for pet owners, there have been many cases in which folliculitis or furunculosis has been present in dogs after bathing or grooming. This skin infection is mainly seen along the neck and back and is due to trauma caused by contaminated shampoo and high-pressure spray heads. This infection causes very painful skin irritation, sores, fever, behavior changes, and in some cases could be life threatening! Many do-it-yourself dog washing facilities use bulk shampoo containers which can easily become contaminated from the excessive use from the same container.

Bathing is a necessary evil but when approached with confidence and in a positive manner, it can be hassle-free and fun. On the other hand, if using a do-it-yourself dog washing facility, we recommend to always bring your own bottle of shampoo to help prevent illness in your beloved companion!
