Interested in health issues of the Chinese Shar-Pei? This list is one of the best sources of information and support you'll find. Our moderators have over 80 years' combined experience with our breed. Our list provides support, education and information about health and disease in the Shar-Pei. Whether you're an old-timer or a newbie, there is always something to learn and share; people of all experience are welcome.

Topics encompass conventional/alternative veterinary care, nutrition and diet, vaccinations, breed-specific disorders like FSF (familial Shar-Pei fever), SHS (swollen hock syndrome), amyloidosis, kidney and liver disorders, skin and allergy issues, mast cell and other cancers, genetics, breeding, thyroid/endocrine, immune system, and general health.

We have monthly guest speakers from varied fields of expertise who participate directly with our members. Our Links section is extensive and a great resource. An important function of our forum is providing support and encouragement to help each other better manage and cope with these conditions. All views are welcome and treated respectfully.

Any suggestions, advice, and/or statements provided on this list are not a substitute for veterinary treatment. Each member is solely responsible for actions/decisions they take regarding their dogs's care and it is their responsibility to seek the veterinary care of their choice.
