Sharpei Exercise

The exercise requirements of the Shar-Pei are moderate and if provided with a large yard they will usually get enough exercise on the own.  However, a daily walk is pertinent both for their enjoyment as well as keeping them in shape physically.  Walking also stimulates their sense of sight and sense of smell, increasing their mental stimulants.  It is important to remember that Shar-Pei are especially sensitive to heat so walks and daily exercise should be done during the cooler times of the day.  Shade and fresh water should be available at all times during exercise as to not overheat your companion.
