Nutrition
The nutrition of the **Pekingese** must be carefully managed to maintain its ideal weight and prevent health problems. Given its small size and tendency to be overweight, it is essential to offer them high-quality food designed for small breeds, with an adequate caloric content. It is advisable to divide their daily ration into two meals to facilitate digestion and better control their intake. Avoid giving them human food scraps and excessive treats, as they can contribute to weight gain and nutritional imbalances. Consult your veterinarian to establish the exact amount of food according to their age, activity level, and health status. A well-nourished **Pekingese** will have a shiny coat, adequate energy, and a strong immune system. Vitamin supplements should only be administered under veterinary recommendation.
