7. Brush up
Brushing is an important aspect of grooming and plays a vital role. Always brush backward and mist it up with some water before you brush their coat. Do it gently! Start with the feet of the Shih Tzu, then the legs, belly, back, tail and finally the face. Also, do not forget to trim occasionally.
Seems a lot of work eh? Well, with time you will get accustomed to it and will take only a few minutes. So happy grooming!
