Shih Tzu is one of the most popular family pet dogs at present. It is petite in size, cute and smart, friendly and enthusiastic to the owner and everyone. It is a pet dog that is very suitable for home life. Today I will share with you how to take care of shih tzu puppy.
1. Feeding method
The Shih Tzu’s life has three life stages, infancy, adulthood, and old age. And the nutrients required are different. It is absolutely impossible to eat only the same food for a lifetime, and the food should be fed according to the Shih Tzu’s weight to avoid overfeeding.
A healthy and balanced diet is very important for the Shih Tzu. An unbalanced diet can harm your Shih Tzu. Food contains a balanced nutrition of protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals, which can promote the full development of bones, muscles and teeth. However, most Shih Tzu owners are used to feeding Shih Tzu leftover meals, such as chicken bones, meat, rice, etc. But this still does not provide adequate and balanced nutrition. In addition to feeding some vegetables, biscuits and other vegetarian food every day, you should also feed a certain amount of meat and meat, the amount is 150-200 grams per day.
In addition, in order to make the Shih Tzu’s blood flow smooth and metabolism strong, it must have a certain amount of activity, so it is very important to take it out for a walk every day, or take it to the wild or park to run and play.
2. daily maintenance
Don’t bathe the puppy too often. It can be washed once a week or even a month. In cold weather, it is not good to wash too much. In summer, it can be washed once every 3-5 days. Don’t take the puppy out to play, because the puppy’s resistance is too weak and it is easy to contract diseases, wait for it to grow up for a few months before going out. In spring, summer and autumn, it is necessary to arrange a bath for it depending on the temperature. If the weather is cooler, give it a bath every 2-3 weeks. If the temperature is warm, it should be bathed once a week. In hot summer, take a bath every 3-5 days. Use degreased cotton wool to plug the ear holes before bathing to prevent water from flowing into the ear canal and cause otitis and other diseases.
3. hair care
The hair of the Shih Tzu is the same as that of people, it belongs to “hair” rather than “hair”, so people who are allergic to hair will not be allergic to raising a Shih Tzu. Shih Tzus do not change their coats, but they “fall out” like humans. A small amount of daily hair loss will remain on the body and cause knots, so regular grooming is necessary to keep them clean and beautiful.
The coat needs frequent grooming, and the coat on the head can be tied into small braids
