The Pekingese, also called the Beijing dog, is a palace lion dog and one of the oldest dog breeds in China, with a history of over four thousand years. The Pekingese has a very compact body structure but is very light in weight. Adult male Pekingese do not exceed 5kg, and adult females do not exceed 5.5kg. They are the so-called short and fat body shape, with strong limbs, yet they can still thrive energetically. However, many Pekingese owners report that they do not know how to raise them or what to feed them. This editor just happens to know a little and is writing it down for readers' reference.

When we usually feed Pekingese, the diet should mainly consist of meat because Pekingese are carnivores that lived in the palace. The types of meat we can feed Pekingese include chicken, fish, beef, etc. The meat must be very fresh, the fish should be deboned, and the feeding amount must be based on the Pekingese’s body size. The most suitable amount is 180–220 grams. Overfeeding should be avoided, or else the Pekingese will become overweight and lose their adorable and radiant image~

Of course, the food fed to the Pekingese varies at different ages. Before weaning, it is best to let the puppy drink mother’s milk, which is a guarantee for the little Pekingese. When they are about two months old, they can be fed dog food, but the dog food must be chosen for balanced nutrition and good palatability, soaked in warm water before feeding.

Before half a year old, the Pekingese’s digestive system is fragile and still developing. At this time, it is best not to feed snacks or any food other than the main meal, especially human food.

After about eight months, you can feed the Pekingese specialized adult dog food, as mentioned earlier, mainly meat. However, like humans, dogs also need vitamin supplements, so it is appropriate to supplement the Pekingese's diet with fruits, vegetables, and so on.

Newcomer readers can refer to the above feeding methods~ Hand-feeding a white, fat, cute, and smart little buddy is really fulfilling to think about!
