Taking care of the Shih Tzu is a great pleasure and at the same time, it is a very time-consuming effort. Many people love this breed because it requires such close interaction and because that interaction builds an indelible bond. This is why this breed is the favorite of senior people.

Loving a Shih Tzu Is Easy

Shih Tzu care is easy – love, love and love. They do not want anything more than they want love and attention. As long as you love them, and love them with a lot of action and verbosity, these dogs are the happiest beings on the earth. The Shih Tzu can stay more than an hour waiting for a grooming session to finish. They are dogs who love to be clean, to be combed and to be handled. If you really want to shower your care and attention on your Shih Tzu at home, then the best place for it to sleep would be your lap.

Shih Tzu care at home needs three main things, (i) love, (ii) grooming, and (iii) feeding tidbits. The first and foremost thing is and will remain love. These dogs need love to be happy, to exist. They love all the attention they can get and can be pretty jealous and cranky if they have to share that love with anyone else, human or animal.

The majority of Shih Tzu care at home is grooming. These dogs need consistent grooming that is done on a daily basis, or at least once in two days. You cannot imagine having a Shih Tzu without having a daily grooming routine, a cornucopia of shampoos and soaps for regular baths and an array of brushes and combs to keep its coat shiny and beautiful, as well as having the famous top knot that is so much part of the Shih Tzu care and persona.

The third and most important aspect of Shih Tzu home care is feeding it. This dog loves to behave like a child and hence, it will demand all the attention that a child demands. It will ask and prefer eating your food than dog food and often eats so much that it has weight problems.

Shih Tzu care dictates that this breed needs all the luxuries possible for a dog. It will sleep on the bed with you, your lap or on soft cushions. The Shih Tzu is not finicky about anything more than it is finicky about cleanliness, comfort and how it is cared for at home. Whatever the dog will learn from how you care for it needs to be reinforced with proper Shih Tzu training.
