The Shih Tzu is a dog that requires a good daily brushing. I like to use a slicker or bristle brush. Most owners of these little dogs prefer to have them clipped and trimmed in a short style. This way the coat stays free from mats longer and is much better for the skin. A topknot can be fashioned on top of the head so that the dog can see properly, but many owners like the visor look. The ear hairs must be plucked out of the ear canals and cleaned so ear infections do not occur. The area around the eyes are very important to keep clean so wiping them daily is highly suggested. Toe nails must be trimmed often to maintain good foot health. This breed sheds little to no hair and are good for allergy suffers.
