Caring for a Brindle Shih Tzu
Shih Tzus have hair rather than fur, meaning they shed (depending on how short you cut his/her hair). With that being said, regular grooming is essential to keeping their coat looking healthy and clean.
Brindle Shih Tzus with lots of white are especially at risk of looking dirty.
To care for your brindle Shih Tzu, trim his/her hair and brush it regularly to prevent tangles and mats. Split ends on brindle Shih Tzus show more so than other colourings.
It also helps to bathe them once a week with a high-quality soap and conditioner, especially before dog shows. Their hair should be brushed before bathing to prevent a tangled coat.
Part of caring for a Shih Tzu is keeping their nails short, wiping their eyes, and caring for oral hygiene to prevent dental issues in the future.
If you don’t want to groom them yourself, you can set up an appointment with a professional.
Brindle Shih Tzu are Great Companions
If you love them enough and care for them right, a Shih Tzu is the perfect companion and a wonderful lapdog.
