Use Dental Chews
Top-quality dental chews can help improve your dog’s general health and well-being. Dental chews are designed particularly to clean your Shih Tzu’s teeth just as effectively as brushing using a toothbrush and toothpaste. When your dog chews on them, it scrapes off tartar and plaque, and they’re filled with great ingredients to help avoid further build-up.
They even make your Shih Tzu’s breath fresher. The good part? Almost all dogs love a great dental chew! They’re a tasty treat that your Shih Tzu won’t even know it is healthy. Some chews are also long-lasting, so it keeps their minds occupied as well.
However, you need to be cautious when considering a quality chew; many products have questionable ingredients or even excessive calories or fat.
Feed Quality Food
Feeding healthy food is a great way to keep your dog’s oral health in tip-top shape. Sustaining the body means that their teeth would grow stronger, and your Shih Tzu’s overall health would greatly improve. Steer clear of ingredients like meals that are unhealthy and stick to your Shih’s teeth.
Low-quality dog food could increase tartar and plaque build-up and keep your dog’s dental and overall health functioning below their ideal strength. Whole foods with organic and natural ingredients usually contain enzymes that help break down unwanted teeth build-up. However, keep in mind that they should have their teeth brushed regularly, as well as their dental condition checked regularly.
