peibe

Grab him by the scruff of his neck and push him away, in a loud growly voice tell him "NO"

Or as someone else said in a thread alittle while ago

Hump him back lol

Not a problem

I know of a few great breeders but not enough to help the breed

As far as I am aware there is no health testing for Shar Pei in Australia, that is unsettling. They have a wide range of health issues that are not being addressed

Entropian, HD, ED, Elongated soft palate, skin issues, parrot mouth, cleft palate, kidney problems, FSF, Mast cell tumors are just a few of the problems

funny questions lol

Thought you might like some pei to compare it too

Jewel- morning and night

Zephyr-morning and night

Grace-morning

Ellie-night

Stella and Bertha = 3-4 poos per day

I hope this helps

Glad Raf is doing better

His eyes were shocking poor boy peibe I was just wondering when you can tell if a Shar Pei is going to develop entropian. Would the breeders have had any idea when they sold the puppy at (I presume) 8 weeks old? If not at what age do you begin to notice that a dog has a problem? Is it very widespread within the breed?

You can tell if the eyes are really bad, but a dog with perfect eyes can still get entropian later in life

When I was buying my dogs I looked at the parents, checking for entropian or scaring from surgeries. Then went back through the lines to check previous dogs and bitches. I also have a health guarantee from both breeders of my dogs to state they will be free of entropian, and if they do develop it they pay for the corrective surgery

Sorry to say Angus but it is not the judges that want rollier dogs it is the public, thanks to the TV commercials. Sad too say aswell there are not enough ethical shar pei breeders out there breeding for betterment of the breed, most breed for money

But that should be changing soon as Shar Pei are not a huge sort after breed anymore and alot are getting out

Your Angus is lovely, I am glad you brought him and paid for his eyes to be done, alot of people dump them when they find out how much surgery is, or leave them and the dogs end up with scaring on the eyeball and go blind

ETA yes Miranda it is widespread in the breed, one of the biggest problems. I know of Registered Breeders that still breed with dogs with entropian, that should be stopped

I am glad he is well behaved

I have never meet a Shar pei that was not house trained

A breeder will tell you they housetrain themselves from 5 weeks

Walking is a big problem with Shar Pei lol.

I just saw the pic before surgery, poor baby, I can see why the vet did surgery

I wish people would stop breeding Shar Pei with entropian, it should be something that is being breed out of them

He is a pretty little bugger though, is he really naughty?

They are supposed to be good Shar Pei vets, the problem with doing it earlier than 1 year is when his head fills out properly it will stretch his eye lids bigger and he will end up with pockets that dirt can get into

Tacking is hard sometimes. I had a rescue that I had tacked 6 times until she was one and could have surgery

The Nutro Lamb and Rice is good too as badboyz said but it makes my dogs fart lol, and Zephyr who is allergic to red meat, itches on the Nutro

Who did eye surgery? Are you talking about eye taking or entropian surgery? If he has had entropian your vet is naughty. A Shar Pei does not have a fully grown head until they are 2 years old or so, eye surgery should not be done until they are one year old

All chicken mince, bones food is raw

Tuna, homebrand tin tuna in springwater from the supermarket, about $1.90 a large tin

Veges, carrot, zucchini, pototo, sweet potato, pumpin, squash, beetroot, watermelon, apple, pear. No onion ever

Megaderm and Phyhex I buy from Pet Stock or Dollar Save, pet produce shops. You can get them from the vet but they are much more expensive

What a pretty chocolate boy, nice eyes

He is lovely

What breeder advised that diet? Are they registered?

That makes me really mad when you brought a dog and are only trying to do what the breeder told you to do and they are wrong

Goodluck with everything and let me know how it goes

ETA to add

I get my chicken mince from Slick Chicks for 60 cents per kilo, shop around for cheap pricing in your area, pet mince not human grade

How old is the pup? 6 months

Has the pup been vet checked for mites? Yes, twice

What do you feed the pup? Wheat bix for brekkie, Pedigree Chicken puppy food with Supercoat puppy dry

What are you bathing the puppy in? We've tried an Aloe Vera shampoo, and a generic puppy shampoo

What grass do you have in your yard? Spidergrass and some broad leaf weeds

What flea products are you using? None, he doesn't have fleas, we're sure of that, checked by vet and regularly checked by us

OK, I will try and help.

This is what I use and my Shar Pei have beautiful healthy coats.

My male is allergic to fleas and red meat. Supercoat make my dogs itch

I deal with alot in Shar Pei as I am a breed rescuer in NSW, most of the pei I get in have skin problems

Pei are not your average dog, China does not support a beef industry and as such a Shar Pei needs a white meat diet

My dogs get Advance Turkey and Rice for breakfast, seeing as your puppy is only 6 months I

would recomend Advance Puppy Growth. I go through a 13kg bag costing $80, every 3 weeks, but I am feeding 10 dogs

I feed chicken, pork and turkey. Mince and necks, wings etc and fish

Say something like this

I have 4 meals and they alternate, they get the required amount of dry food everyday for breakfast

Meal 1:

Tuna and Rice, puree veges

Meal 2:

Chicken pieces, eggs, shell and all

Meal 3;

Pork or Turkey with puree veges

Meal 4;

Chicken mince, puree veges, kelp powder

Once a week I add Megaderm to their meals, it is high in Omega 3 and 6. Once a week I will also add a fish based tin of cat food to their breakfast dry food

I recommend Fido's soap free shampoo as a good one, about $10 from Produce shops

I only wash them once every 3 weeks and rince really well as the soap goes inbetween their rolls and irritates

I add Apple Cidar Vinegar to their water aswell

The grass and fleas are not a problem

When I get an itchy dog in I will give them a good bath in a Shampoo called Pyohex. Put them straight on a Advance Dry food diet for breakfast. Night time they will get a Chicken and Rice diet only 1-2 weeks to settle their system. Every night I add Megaderm as this puts oils back into their coats

Then I slowly introduce veges and the rest mentioned above

I hope this helps your baby feel better and please tell me his name and post photos if you can

Not enough of pei owners and lover on DOL

My Shar Pei pup has had a terrible itch lately. I know it's part and parcel of Shar Pei ownership, and it's the season for it, but I want to give him some relief.

Any products out there people can recommend to help my little boy?

Part and parcel of Shar Pei ownership is not an itchy dog, I know alot of people say they have skin issues but it normally comes back to incorrect feeding

Firstly

How old is the pup?

Has the pup been vet checked for mites?

What do you feed the pup?

What are you bathing the puppy in?

What grass do you have in your yard?

What flea products are you using?

Shar Pei skin is 87% more like a cat than a dogs, they need a low protein diet. Answer the questions above and I might be able to advise some help

If your puppy has demodex, they will need treatment at a vet

I do not agree with the bonding

I have a French Bulldog that I got at 7 months, her old owners came to visit her on Sunday and she did not want a bar of them and stayed with me all day

Really depends on what the breeder has done with the puppy

If the pup has been treated like terrorbulls run away but if the breeder has done some socialisation and training fine

LOL, should not laugh, but sounds like Mr Serious is a hoot

My boy also gets over excited at jumping, nothing else just the jumps. I find if my OH does it instead of me he does not nip me

I was under the impression that the first vacc at 6 weeks cancelled the immunity from the mother?

Then they get one at 10-12 weeks and then again at 14-16 weeks, this is what I do anyway

Then again at one year

I would not recommend taking a puppy to any RSPCA shelter at this time of year, they get parvo too

I agree with what Jed has said

I get my dogs done at 6-8 weeks, 10-12 weeks, 14-16 weeks and then at one year, they do not get done again until they are 3 years old, then 5, 7 then finished

I rescue dogs and my dogs do not catch anything, I have had parvo here and kennel cough, they do not get sick

I believe we are over vaccinating in this country

Oh no, I have only just seen that you lost your Cassie girl

I am so sorry, I really am

RIP Cassie, run free

The dog in question is an abused rescue dog whom I am fostering, she is very submissive by nature and licks all other dogs and people constantly

As the weeks go by she is getting better and it appears to be only me now that is being licked

Any suggestions??

Thanks for that K9, I have a licker at home and was really looking forward to a solution

Looks like I just keep ignoring it

Thanks for adding your website link, you should be hearing from friends of mine with a naughty Shar Pei soon lol, goodluck

Have you ever had him checked over by a vet to see if there is something wrong internally?

What about Nutrigel? Tried it?

I hate fussy eaters, goodluck

Words cannot express how I feel for you right now

I am so sorry, RIP little Turbo, go rev up heaven with those lovely Pug antics

I have a fatty, she eats 1/3 of what my other pei eats, he never gains and eats like a horse, she has to look at something and puts on weight

Just like people I think some dogs are a struggle

I have tried explaining to alot of people when they remark they can see Zephyr's ribs that Jewel must eat his food, they do not listen and cannot understand that Zeph is a good weight, Jewel is fat. I tell them they get feed seperately and they still do not believe me

People nowdays are so used to seeing fat dogs they think it is normal

:D

Hump him back

poor little Chi :D

Not single lol but could do with some young toy boy action

I hope he changes his mind, or at least waits until she is old enough and has had some health checks first

Stand on his foot instead lol
