About Shih Tzus
Shih Tzus can vary by age, activity level and body condition, so nutrition should be chosen around the individual pet rather than breed name alone. Some breeds are naturally active and athletic, while others are more relaxed or prone to gaining weight. A complete food chosen for your dog’s age, size and lifestyle can help support everyday health.
Nutrition for Shih Tzus
When choosing food for Shih Tzus, consider size, energy level, digestion, skin and coat condition, dental health and healthy weight. Look for complete recipes from trusted brands and follow the feeding guide carefully, especially if your pet is neutered, less active or has a sensitive stomach.
