Pekingese Dog Clippers and Grooming Kits
How to Groom a Pekingese at Home
Grooming a Pekingese at home can feel a bit daunting at first, especially because their long, abundant coat needs regular attention. With the right tools and a calm approach, you can keep your Pekingese looking neat, comfortable and healthy. Their coat tends to be thick with a heavy undercoat, which means consistent brushing and trimming are essential to prevent tangles and keep shedding under control.
Masterclip clippers are designed to be quiet and easy to handle, which helps make grooming sessions smoother for both you and your dog. With steady practice, you can maintain your dog’s coat at home without stress.
How Often Should You Groom a Pekingese?
We recommend the following routine:
• Brushing at least three to four times per week
• A full trim every 6 to 10 weeks
A Pekingese coat can mat quickly if not brushed frequently, especially around the chest, behind the ears, under the legs and around the tail.
Basic Grooming Steps for Pekingese Dogs
• Start with a gentle but thorough brushing to loosen knots
• Use quiet clippers around the body to neaten the length
• Carefully tidy the face, ears and feet with grooming scissors for a clean finish
• Check and clean around the eyes frequently since Pekingese can be prone to tear staining
Best Dog Clippers for Pekingese
Pekingese coats usually consist of a long outer layer and a dense undercoat. Because of this, not all dog clippers will glide through the fur with the control you need. Choosing a high quality clipper will give you a smoother finish and reduce the risk of snagging.
Masterclip clippers are trusted by both professionals and home groomers. Each model is designed for comfort and control, which is especially important for long, plush coats like the Pekingese.

Frequently Asked Questions
How short should I clip my Pekingese?
Many owners prefer to keep the body trimmed to a manageable length without taking it too short. A medium length blade or comb attachment works well to maintain shape while still allowing the coat to lie naturally.
Do Pekingese shed a lot?
Yes. They have a heavy double coat that sheds seasonally. Regular brushing will help reduce loose hair and prevent matting.
Can I give my Pekingese a full shave?
It is not recommended to shave a Pekingese very short because their double coat helps regulate body temperature. Instead, opt for a tidy trim that keeps the coat manageable.
How do I reduce tear stains?
Keep the fur around the eyes neatly trimmed and wipe the area daily with a soft, damp cloth designed for tear stain care.
