Special Grooming of a Shar-Pei
Although this breed has a short coat, because of its wrinkles, it needs special care. Wrinkle cleaning is important for this breed, since moisture and dirt can get trapped in between the folds of the wrinkles and this may cause inflammation and infection if not cleaned properly. Regular massaging and brushing with a bristle brush will keep the coat shiny and healthy. Teeth need to be regularly cleaned and checked, as do the tiny and sensitive little ears, since they fold inwards. Much like the wrinkles, they are susceptible to infection yet again. As for the toenails, you need to be clip them every ten days or so. If you keep to this strict grooming routine, your wrinkly friend will be right as rain!
