Shih Tzu dogs are at high risk of developing cardiomyopathies, which are heart diseases.
What can you feed your Shih Tzu
You can give your pet foods such as: beef, chicken, lamb, chicken eggs, sea fish.
Cucumbers, tomatoes, cabbage, carrots, zucchini, lettuce and other greens are also useful.
Strictly prohibited products are: pork, river fish, peas and legumes, sweets, pasta, smoked meats and spices.
Dogs can be given both raw and boiled carrots.
The benefit of raw carrots is that chewing them helps keep your dog's teeth healthy.
Dogs can eat eggs. This product is rich in protein and contains many essential fats and amino acids.
How many times a day should you feed your Shih Tzu
Starting from 2 months, the frequency of meals is reduced to 5 times.
For Shih Tzu puppies aged 3–6 months, 4 meals a day are enough, and after six months you can reduce the number of meals to three.
Once they reach the age of one year, Shih Tzu puppies are considered adult dogs and should be fed twice a day - morning and evening.
