Skin care - Brushing

Proper grooming of your Shar-Pei will keep her skin healthy. Brushing your dog when it is shedding will prevent irritation and discomfort to the skin. The Chinese Shar-Pei does not shed all year. Rather, these dogs shed once a year when they rid themselves of their winter coats. When your dog is shedding, use a rubber brush or grooming glove to loosen the shed hair.

Daily brushing using a rubber brush keeps the coat shiny, but this is not necessary when you are focusing on Shar-Pei skin care. The shedding season is the only time your dog's coat may irritate his skin.
