Pekingese Dogs & Weight

Garfield, the Dog?

Pekingese dogs are known to put on weight relatively quickly. While a fat Peke may be cute and all, the extra weight poses quite serious problems for the dog, primarily in the area of joint issues. Because their shape already contributes to their susceptibility to skeletal problems, adding extra pounds to the dog's existing load is strongly disadvised.

Caring for your Pekingese at Home

It's certainly frustrating owning a dog and being unable to determine whether your dog is sick, how sick he or she is, and how to help. Taking your Pekingese to the vet will certainly answer your questions. But vet visits are expensive, and it can be impractical to call up the clinic about every little thing that might indicate your dog is not well.

A solution I found is one of the most popular dog ownership books offered today, and it's called Veterinary Secrets Revealed. This book was created by a veterinarian for dog owners who constantly find themselves in this position. The book has about a thousand different home remedies, many of which involve simple household items, and covers a broad range of issues, from simple things like dandruff to serious conditions like parasites and arthritis.
