Where did you get your Shar Pei?

We've never had to deal with Shar-Pei fever & this is our 2nd Shar-Pei. The only issue we had with the 1st was him swallowing A twist tie which he did pass. Winston had to get his eyes tagged due to his eye lashes was curled inside his eyes & is on A grain free diet, because they will get bumps on their chin & other skin issues.

@@Nateg852 .. Did Winston have Hair Loss and Skin Bumps...? ... Which Grain-Free Dog Food are you feeding him...? .. Thank You ..

@@donaldpedigo296 We actually feed him Bil-Jac Picky No More Medium and Large Breed Adult Dry Dog Food. Winston Loves liver and that's been his favourite dry food.

@donaldpedigo296 I have a Shar Pei mix. We live in Arizona, and she's had Shar Pei Fever plus Valley Fever at various times. When Shar Pei Fever kicks in, she is miserable. I watch the temperature. Just try to get through it. There is a "Shar Pei Health, Nutrition, and Behavior" group of FB great for any Shar Pei-related issues. We have had one late night ER visit for that. Another for her eating something while walking that she refused to surrender. Her back hocks also will swell up sometimes, she can hardly move, won't eat - but no fever. Last bout was almost two days. Pumpkin is now 11.

@@deserttoebeanchaos .. God-Bless "Pumpkin" .. I Wish Her All the Best of Good Health and a Long Happy Life with You .. I want to mention that I have learned so much about Shar-Pei's since I adopted mine from the Corpus-Christi Animal Control Shelter back on 14-May-2023 .. My Dog's name is "Baby" and she is also about 11-years-old .. and she suffers from Sharj-Pei Inflammatory Disease which causes Familial Shar-Pei Fever (FSF), Arthritis, Vesicular Hyaluronosis, Otitis and Amyloidosis .. I used to panic when her fever hit 105, but I learned to simply wet-her-down, soaking her with water for a few minutes, and then placing her in front of a fan, which quickly caused the fever to drop .. She takes "Colchicine" twice-daily for the Amyloidosis, praying that this will prevent damage to her Heart, Kidneys and her Liver .. She also suffers from extensive Dermatitis, and skin-plugs revealed the cause to be a Super Anti-Biotic Resistant strain of Staph, that requires the use of an Extremely Dangerous Antibiotic that will almost certainly harm her Liver, or her Kidneys, and so I have chosen not to use the Antibiotic, and to simply manage-it by bathing her regularly with supportive Shampoos that help alleviate the skin irritation and Twice-Monthly Vitamin-B-12 Injections .. Much Respect to You and to "Pumpkin" .. 🙏😇🐶

@@Nateg852 Loved the video, I think I am going to add this to the list of dogs I want when I am able to get one.

​@@KamalTiwari82 Shar peis are great dogs, very friendly, but do be aware they're pretty high maintenance! Their faces and ears need regular cleaning due to all the wrinkles, and they're prone to allergies which give them skin problems. They can also be a bit territorial with strangers as they're bred to be guard dogs. If you can spare the time to give their face a wipedown every day or two and are willing to buy specific food that doesn't aggravate their allergies, and can handle them barking at everyone who comes to the door, go for it!

@@NocheTenebri Would these be right for first time owners?
