Grooming Your Shar-Pei

• The ears of the Chinese Shar-Pei need special cleaning attention before bathing.  Some Shar-Pei tend to collect more dirt and wax in their ears than others which needs to be removed.
• Use a rubber brush in the bath to loosen and remove shedding hair.
• A light hand massage is a good way to remove any additional shedding hair.
• Be especially careful to dry the folds of the skin on the Chinese Shar-Pei.  Use your hands to open the folded skin and dry with moderate heat.
• Once the dog is dry, try using a light coat of grooming powder or baby powder.  This can keep the folds dry from damp skin irritation.  Be sure to use only a light coat!
• After bathing and drying, try using a light gloss spray for a shiny coat!
