What the Shih Tzu Owner Should Know About Grooming Part 1

The show dog Shih Tzu owner who does not want to groom his Shih
Tzu himself should know what must be done and when. This
knowledge is necessary so he/she can take the Shih Tzu to a
professional groomer or handler for show grooming at the right
time.

All Shih Tzu owners should know several basic grooming
techniques. It is very important to use the right equipment.
There are many different types of brushes, combs, clipper blades
and other tools. If you use the wrong brush, brushing technique,
comb or clipper blade you can easily break Shih Tzu’s hair or
give the Shih Tzu brush burn.

I recommend using Life's Abundance Grooming products for the Shih Tzu. I will showcase one product in this article. Life's Abundance Revitalizing Shampoo. You can take your preferred products to your personal groomer to use on your shih tzu.

Life's Abundance Revitalizing Shampoo


  • Organic rosemary & sage
  • Natural kiwi & mango extracts
  • Cleans without stripping away natural oils
  • Moisture-activated odor eliminators
Pamper your precious pet with a revitalizing botanical infusion of organic rosemary and sage. Enhanced with the nourishing essences of coconut and palm kernel oil, Revitalizing Shampoo naturally cleanses and beautifies coats. Even a small dollop of this conditioning formula works into a luxurious, foamy lather, to deeply cleanse and leave coats silky, fragrant and tangle-free. The luscious scents of mango and kiwi mingle with energizing citrus notes to bring out natural shine. Natural antioxidants from organic rosemary and sage help prevent damage from weathering and environmental factors. Natural emollients help soften hair and give the coat more body.

Revitalizing Shampoo doesn’t just mask odors … moisture activated odor-fighters react immediately to absorb and neutralize tough pet odors. All that’s left after a bath is a beautiful coat, fragrant with a delicate citrus aroma. Gentle enough for puppies and kittens over 12 weeks of age. Item Size: 12 fl. oz.

Some knowledge of anatomy is useful. You will need to maintain
proper control of the Shih Tzu while grooming. Control points
are used to alert the Shih Tzu to what the groomer wants him to
do. Shih Tzu puppies are especially important for the groomer to
control properly while grooming. Take care not to frighten the
Shih Tzu during early grooming sessions. The grooming sessions
should be fun for both the Shih Tzu puppy and the owner.


Introduce your new Shih Tzu puppy to grooming as soon as you
bring him home. At the young age of 8 weeks Shih Tzu puppies
usually learn proper grooming manners quickly if they are
handled properly.


Aspects of grooming that contribute to a Shih Tzu’s good health:



1. To prevent ear infection keep the Shih Tzu’s ears clean of
hair.


2. Remove excess wax promptly. This can be done with a piece of
cotton that has been dipped in alcohol.


3. Be careful not to pry deep in the ear or stick anything small
into the ear. If there is reason to do so, the Shih Tzu should
be taken to a veterinarian.


4. Keep toenails trimmed and filed. This helps the Shih Tzu to
walk easier and more comfortable as well as keeps him from
snagging furniture or scratching owner’s legs and arms.


5. Anal glands should be expressed to avoid discomfort to the
dog by your veterinarian if you groom your Shih Tzu at home. The
professional groomer can do this if you have your Shih Tzu
professionally groomed.


6. All Shih Tzu owners should have some knowledge of ticks,
fleas, and lice and know what to do if the Shih Tzu becomes
infested with any of these parasites.


Shih Tzu can very easily be groomed completely at home if you
learn some basic grooming techniques, use the right equipment and grooming products,
and have some knowledge of anatomy of your Shih Tzu.
