What Pekingese need most from their food
The Pekingese’s flat face, dense coat, and compact frame shape their needs:
Digestive Health & Gas
Brachycephalic anatomy means Pekingese swallow air and can be gassy — highly digestible food reduces it.
Weight Management
Lean, nutrient-dense food helps maintain a healthy weight without empty filler calories.
Coat Quality
The dense double coat depends on protein and omega-3s.
Dental Health
A clean, low-starch, sugar-free diet avoids the plaque-promoting ingredients in kibble.
Why freeze-dried raw is right for PekingesePekingese
The Pekingese combines a brachycephalic (flat-faced) anatomy with a long, dense double coat and a compact, weight-prone frame. Highly digestible freeze-dried raw, free of fermentable fillers, eases the digestion and gas common to flat-faced breeds.
The dense coat depends on protein and omega-3s, and the lean, nutrient-dense profile supports weight management. Loyal Saints delivers clean whole-food nutrition with no synthetic premix.

The standard is King.
Loyal Saints was built because of one dog. King’s digestive sensitivities pushed Kristina Voltin to question the ingredients, processing and nutrition behind every bowl. She formulated a whole-food, freeze-dried raw diet from human-grade quality ingredients — food she felt confident feeding King every day. Every formula is held to that standard: would I feed this to King?
For Pekingese owners navigating the same questions Kristina faced — about ingredients, about what’s really in the bag, about whether the food is actually good — Loyal Saints is the answer she built for them.

For a brachycephalic breed, digestibility and lean weight matter. Removing filler starches reduces gas; omega-3s support the coat.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best dog food for a Pekingese?
A lean, highly digestible diet that reduces gas and supports weight management. Loyal Saints Chicken is gentle and digestible; Turkey + Salmon adds omega-3s for the dense coat.
How much should I feed my Pekingese?
Pekingese typically weigh 8–14 lbs, needing about 1–1½ cups of freeze-dried raw a day as a complete meal (Beef or Turkey + Salmon; 1–1½ cups of Chicken), split into two meals. Monitor body condition and adjust for age and activity.
Why is my Pekingese gassy?
Flat-faced breeds swallow more air, and kibble’s filler starches make gas worse. Highly digestible freeze-dried raw with no filler starches typically reduces gas within 2–4 weeks.
Is freeze-dried raw good for a Pekingese with a sensitive stomach?
Yes. Start with single-protein Chicken — our gentlest, most digestible formula — using a 7–10 day transition. It contains no fillers or synthetic additives that commonly trigger upset.
