Understanding The Pekinese Dog Breeds

Bookmark and Share


Pekinese are beautiful little dogs. They do not much exercise since they normally do not become overweight. If you do take your Pekinese for a walk, it should be a short walk as they tire easily because of their short legs. Although they love to socialize, they prefer to walk a short distance and then spent their time with the human companions.

Pekinese are prone to ear infections, this because they have ears that cover the entire ear. This causes bacteria to become moist and multiply in the ear. No air gets inside the ear. A vet can prescribe medication to take care of the infection. They are little fur balls weighting about 15 to 20 pounds and have a flatten nose, which results in many having respiratory problems as well as ear infections.

Pekinese need to be brushed daily or their hair will twist and become matted. Their teeth need cleaning and for the most part a good dog bone specially made to remove plaque works better than trying to brush their teeth.

Pekinese are loving and compatible dogs. They get along with other dogs and cats as well as children.

Pet Insurance For Your Beloved Four Legged Friend

Bookmark and Share

Our pets are our children in many ways. We nurture them, teach them and show them love. When vet bills start to add up, we look for ways to come up with the money we need to have check ups or any other veterinarian bills that may arise. We have insurance to protect us from medical problems and now we have insurance for out dogs. It is up to us to care for them and this includes insurance to make sure they receive proper medical treatment.

The pet insurance covers medical bills, theft or death and in most cases, some form of payment for loss of life due to accidental reasons. If you have more than one dogs or other pet, you may find an insurance company that has multiple pet discounts. This is something that all pet owners should check into. Vet bills are not that high, but it is nice to have some form of insurance to help with the expenses.
