The Shih Tzu is one of the smallest dogs in the world. Its tiny size makes it a popular companion and often means that it lives mainly indoors. The Shih Tzu stands out as a robust, friendly and independent dog with excellent hearing and a long coat that wants to be cared for. Shih Tzus benefit from a food specially designed to meet their particular needs. Kibble, for example, should be adjusted to fit their tiny jaws and teeth.
Royal Canin Shih Tzu Adult is suitable for adult Shih Tzus from ten months and takes account of all the breed’s special features:
Special recipe: valuable vitamins and amino acids can strengthen the skin’s barrier function and prevent the intrusion of bacteria. They also help to maintain a shiny coat and reduce dandruff
Adapted kibble: chihuahuas need special kibble that are adjusted in size, shape and texture to their small jaws
Tartar prevention: sodium phosphates help to bind the calcium in saliva and protect against tartar
Reduction of stool odour: highly digestible proteins, rice, FOS and a complex of EPA/DHA minimise the amount of undigested food and reduce unpleasant stool odour as well as stool volume
