About Pekingese Dogs

Pekingese are compact, dignified toy dogs with a flat face, abundant coat, and a proud, rolling gait. They were bred as companions for Chinese royalty and retain a regal, confident air. Their lion-like mane and independent personality set them apart from other toy breeds.

Adopting a Pekingese brings a loyal, devoted companion who has a calm, dignified presence in the home. They are affectionate with their chosen people, good watchdogs, and surprisingly stubborn in an endearing way. Their small size makes them excellent apartment companions.

Local Climate & Pet Care

Winter

25°F to 40°F

Dec – Feb

Philly winters bring cold temperatures, snow, and icy sidewalks treated with salt. Protect your pet’s paws with booties or wax, and wipe them down after walks. Fairmount Park and the Schuylkill River Trail are still accessible but can be slippery after storms.

Spring

40°F to 68°F

Mar – May

Spring cherry blossoms along the Schuylkill River make for beautiful walks with your pet. Temperatures gradually warm through the season, and parks come alive with activity. Watch for seasonal allergies in pets as pollen levels rise in April and May.

Summer

68°F to 88°F

Jun – Aug

Hot, humid summers in Philly call for shade and hydration on walks through the city. Avoid midday pavement and stick to shaded trails in Wissahickon Valley Park. Carry water for your pet and take breaks in the shade during longer outings.
