Shih Tzus are companion dogs who love to spend a lot of their day shadowing their favourite
people around the house. This breed is originally from the Asian subcontinent and
‘Shih Tzu’ translates to ‘little lion.’ We imagine that this refers to their long, mane-like fur coat rather than their temperament.
Given the right care and environment, dogs of this breed have a reputation for being intelligent, lovable lap dogs. They get along well with children as long as children are taught how to handle these, small, delicate doggies.

Sara’s Doggie Treats
This breed has a tendency to put on weight so a highly-nutritious, species appropriate diet
is important. Treats can help with training but remember not to overdo it. The Sara’s
Treats range of natural, dehydrated yums are delicious and nutritious.

BOWLS FOR SHIH TZUS
You can serve your Shih Tzu in our Slant bowls,
these make meals easier for dogs with flat snouts to
eat. It’s also a good idea to give their faces a quick wipe after meals to remove any particles of food that get stuck there.

Shih Tzus enjoy playing games with their people and this helps strengthen the bond between pet and parent.
They enjoy relaxing with a chew or cuddling with a plush toy in their lounger beds.


GROOM YOUR SHIS TZU
Shih Tzus have gorgeous coats that need regular upkeep. Brush it daily to prevent matting and to keep it healthy.
The HUFT Bamboo Slicker brush
would work well (remember to work in sections and brush away from the skin).
The HUFT Double Sided Steel comb
will also come in handy.
To deal with tangles, look for a useful spray like the
Pet Head BFF Tangling Fix or the
Skout’s Honor Probiotic Daily
Use Detangler
(the Honeysuckle variant is one of our favourites).
Shih Tzus have large eyes and cleaning around the eyes should be part of your grooming routine. Tears could stain the fur on
the face so a
TropiClean SPA Lavish tear stain remover and facial cleanser
helps. Hair from the top of the head has a tendency to fall into
the dog’s eyes and it’s recommended that this is kept in a top knot or trimmed. The top knot and furry face needs to be gently brushed out every day.
Regular baths or grooms with a specially formulated product like the
Isle of
Dogs Silky Coating Shampoo and Conditioner
are recommended. Ear cleaning, nail trimming and dental hygiene routines are also essential.
To finish off the groom and leave your pet’s coat smelling lovely, the
Skout's Honor Daily Use Deodorizer is ideal.
