Can a Shar-Pei tolerate extremes in temperature?
Big Dog | July 22nd, 2010
As for all dogs, it is true for Shar Peis too, that it isn’t recommended to leave them in the hot sunshine for very long time; they can’t tolerate it very well, because their body get overheated.
In case of very hot weather they need shade and plenty of fresh water.
Shar Pei dogs can tolerate cold weather quite well, but they aren’t supposed to be kept outdoors. You should put some vaseline on their paws before taking them for a walk on the winter, to avoid injuries caused by salt. This breed likes to be near the owner all the time, so shouldn’t be kept in garden or kennel.
