Seborrhoea is a common disease amongst many Shar-Pei.  It refers to the death of old skin cells followed by rapid production of new skin cells.  Normally, skin cells die and are rapidly replaced by new skin cells.  However, with seborrhoea the rate in which skins cells reproduce is accelerated.  This rapid acceleration can result in two different types of seborrhoea: seborrhoea sicca and seborrhoea oleosa.

Did you know that all dogs have mites living in their skin?  Sounds gross, right?  Don’t worry.  This is normal.  In a healthy animal, both the parasite and the host can co-exist with no problems.  The immune system is the control board that keeps the amount of mites to a minimum and maintains the balance of healthy living.  But what happens when your beloved companion gets sick or stressed?  During these times, the immune system can become impaired and the number of mites can multiply.

Different from the skin on most other breeds, the Chinese Shar-Pei has skin comparable to that of a feline.  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.
