Pekingese Health Problems

The Preposterous Price of Pekosity

Pekingese dogs are certainly endearing in their size and appearance. Who can resist the charmingly squished face of a little Pekingese? But the majority of their innate health problems exist because they were engineered for their aesthetic qualities without great consideration having been given to how their physiology would be affected.

The result is a darling little creature with a multitude of health concerns that are not necessarily present in other breeds. These range from daily nuisances to possibly life-threatening conditions, which make owning a Pekingese somewhat the doctor's task. In fact many of the activities they're naturally inclined to do as dogs will need human aid and supervision because they are so prone to injury and medical issues.

Above is a list of the general health concerns Pekingese owners should be aware of. This information is a combination of research and personal experience with the breed.
