Puppies of Peruvian Hairless Dogs aged 8 to 12 weeks need four meals per day. Three meals a day should be provided to Peruvian Hairless Dog puppies aged three to six months. In a 24-hour cycle, feed pups aged six months to 1 year two bowls of food.

By the time the Peruvian hairless puppy reaches her first birthday, she only needs one cup for twenty-four hours. Some Peruvian hairless dogs may prefer two smaller meals. The Peruvian Hairless should be fed high-quality dog food, either professionally produced or cooked at home with your veterinarian's permission.

On the top of its head, on its bottom, and the tip of its tail, the Peruvian Inca Orchid can have short fur. Breeders in Peru favour dogs that are entirely hairless. The full-coated variety is not allowed to compete in conformation shows. The skin may be chocolate brown, elephant grey, bronze, or mottled in colour. They can be entirely one colour or have pink tongue spots. Albinism is frowned upon.

The colour of the eyes is related to the colour of the skin. While it is usually brown, dogs with lighter skin will have sharper eyes than dogs with darker skin.

On sunny days, sunscreen is needed for Peruvian Inca Orchids, as they are not outdoor dogs. A bath now and then, in addition to daily grooming, will keep your Peruvian Inca Orchid clean and looking his best.

Their nails may be trimmed as appropriate with a nail clipper or grinder to prevent overgrowth, breaking, and cracking. Ears should be washed daily to avoid the buildup of wax and dirt, which can lead to infection. Brushing your teeth is something that should be done daily.

To stay safe and comfortable, the Peruvian Inca Orchid takes a lot of exercises. Playing in the garden, ideally fenced, or going on walks many times a day are both excellent ways to get some exercise. Indoor games such as hide-and-seek, chasing a rolled ball around the board, or trying new tricks will also provide exercise. Even short walks in the hallways, particularly during inclement weather, will provide exercise for your dog if you live in an apartment.

Dog athletic training, such as agility, obedience, and rally, will also be a fun way to get the dog some exercise.

In general, the Peruvian Inca Orchid is a stable breed. Responsible breeders should test their breeding stock for eye defects, ear diseases, and hearing loss, as well as patella and cardiac tests, according to the Board. Peruvian Hairless Dogs should be seen by a doctor every year for a proper inspection, vaccinations, heartworm testing, and as soon as possible if they become ill or injured.

Peruvian Inca Orchids make excellent indoor pets because they are noble and affectionate. They're cheerful and well-behaved, making them a perfect companion for families of older children. They're devoted, playful, and caring. They're also respectful of their family members and afraid of outsiders if not socialized at an early age.

The Peruvian Hairless Dog is a brilliant dog who can be conditioned to a high degree. They prefer to approach new challenges with optimism and excitement, though discipline or punishment can not be used to discourage them if they fail. Instead, encouraging words and delicious treats should be used to reward positive behaviour and progress.

The Peruvian Inca Orchid is not a vicious dog. They are extremely friendly and enjoy other pets, including cats. They will become enraged if they are teased or provoked. They are not aggressive, but as a defensive dog, they can show hostility if they see harm being done to their species.
