1. Two Basic Feeding Precautions for Shar Peis First, dog owners should pay attention to one point: do not feed leftover food to Shar Peis. Many people think that human food is very nutritious or are afraid of wasting or want to save time, so they feed their dogs leftover meals. However, leftover meals often contain sharp fish bones or bones, which can cause oral injuries to the Shar Pei and may lead to infections in severe cases. So for the safety of your Shar Pei, first do not be lazy and feed them leftovers. Second, the food given to Shar Peis, whether animal food, grain food, or vegetables, should be cleaned and heated to prevent poisoning. Especially in summer, food is more likely to spoil and go bad.
