  How long is the lifespan of a Pekingese? I have an almost blind love for the Pekingese. It is no exaggeration to say that I can’t help but like the Pekingese, but I feel ashamed. The thing is that I don’t know much about dogs like Pekingese, and I don’t even know how long the life span of a Pekingese is. The editor of AiPet.com will introduce to you how long its life is and the simple methods of raising and caring for it.

  12 to 15 years, and the longest life span is 20 years!

 The average lifespan of a Pekingese is between 14 and 15 years, and the longest-lived Pekingese recorded in history is 34 years old. The average lifespan of Pekingese dogs is higher than that of other dogs.

 Feeding and care

 In the feeding and management of Pekingese dogs, adequate nutrition must be provided. In addition to feeding an appropriate amount of vegetables, bread, biscuits and other vegetarian foods every day, you also need to feed 150-250 grams of lean meat once in the morning and afternoon. You can also feed shrimps and fish. It is best to add some ground milk powder, calcium powder and multivitamins to the vegetarian diet, and at the same time give it some cold boiled water.

  Canines are animals that also need a certain amount of activity to promote blood circulation and metabolism. Therefore, when the owner goes shopping or walks in the park, it is best to take it out for a walk.

 Paying attention to cleanliness and hygiene is also an important part of raising a Pekingese. Dry clean it once every 5-10 days; give it a bath every 3-4 months; in summer, give it a bath every other week. The hair of this kind of dog is long and thick. It needs to be combed once a day. Otherwise, it will become tangled and become knots. It will be better to sprinkle some combing powder or hair conditioner before combing. At ordinary times, you should be careful not to mix with other dogs or fight with other dogs, otherwise it will be easy to get hairy and cause defects in appearance.

· Pekingese dogs are relatively delicate and have poor resistance to disease and harsh environments. In hot summer, especially muggy days, it will have difficulty breathing and even get sick. Don't leave it under the scorching sun at ordinary timesActivities under the sun should be cooled down or moved to a ventilated and cool place if necessary. When the weather is hot and cold, adjustments should be made to prevent catching a cold. This dog lives in an environment with high room temperature and is prone to hair loss. You should try to let it live in an environment with lower temperature.

 When bathing, you should pay attention to protecting the dog's eyes and ears to prevent water from entering. The method of bathing is to wet the dog's body with water first, then apply shampoo, and rub the dog's body fully to make sure the dog's body is wet. Create foam, then use clean water to wash away the foam and dirt on the body, and finally dry the dog's body with a dry towel. When taking a bath in winter, pay attention to raising the temperature indoors to prevent the dog from catching cold.

 The sebaceous gland secretions of Pekingese dogs have an unpleasant smell, which sticks to the skin and coat and must be removed by bathing. Bathing should be done all year round, outdoors in summer and indoors in winter. Once a week in the summer and once a month in the winter.

  You can use an electric hair dryer and a comb to blow hot air while combing to dry the dog's hair. Finally, use a dry cotton ball to dry the water in the dog's ears, and then use a comb to comb the hair all over the body neatly. Mixed detergents are most common and are used according to the nature of the body hair. For dogs with fine and soft hair, it is better to use a neutral shampoo. For dogs with rough and dry hair, use an oil-based shampoo. There are two types: vegetable olive oil or animal-based hair grease. Observe the results after use. Decide which one is best to use.
