Pekingese Puppy Weight Calculator

Their flat faces (brachycephalic structure) can cause breathing difficulties, especially in hot or humid weather.
They are also prone to eye ulcers, dental crowding, and back problems because of their long spine and short legs.
Regular vet check‑ups, keeping your puppy at a healthy weight, and avoiding rough play that could injure the spine are very important.

Because they are small, they need frequent, portion‑controlled meals—three to four times a day until six months old, then twice daily.
Be careful not to overfeed, as obesity puts extra strain on their breathing and joints.
Always provide fresh water, and because of their flat faces, use a shallow bowl to make drinking easier.

Because of their thick double coat and facial folds, Pekingese require daily brushing and washing or professional grooming every six to eight weeks.
Essential care includes regular nail trims, daily face wrinkle cleaning to prevent infections, frequent brushing to prevent matting, and, for some, a "lion cut" for easier upkeep.

Pekingese puppies are intelligent but can be independent and stubborn. Begin training the day you bring your puppy home, using short, positive sessions with treats and praise.
House training may take patience because of their small bladders; use a consistent schedule and a designated potty area.
Socialize your puppy to various people, calm dogs, and gentle sounds early on to prevent timidity or bossiness. Never use harsh corrections—the Pekingese responds best to kindness and consistency.
