How is a pekingese to be cut and groomed?

Pekingese should be groomed with a focus on maintaining their long, flowing coat while ensuring it remains healthy and free of mats. Regular brushing, ideally several times a week, is essential to prevent tangles, especially around the ears, face, and legs. A typical cut involves trimming the fur around the paws and sanitation areas, while the body can be left longer or slightly shortened for ease of maintenance. Bathing should be done regularly, using a mild dog shampoo to keep the coat clean and shiny.
