ShihTzu Grooming Essentials: 2 Basic Rules You Should Never Overlook
Did you know that “clipped” Shih Tzu dogs (a term used for canines that have had their coats trimmed or cut) are not allowed to join dog shows that put a lot of value on conformity to breed standards? This is surprising but true. This breed is known for its flowing, cascading locks that must be maintained with an almost fanatical nature. And this is basically why pet owners really take great measures when it comes to ShihTzu grooming.
However, this does not mean that you should keep your Shih Tzu’s coat perpetually cropped. By following these 2 simple rules, You Can keep your pet looking great and neat… without having to worry about the strain of constant grooming. You can begin by:
1. Making sure that you have the most basic ShihTzu grooming tools at hand. You would need: doggy toothbrush, doggy toothpaste, grooming liquid (warm or tepid water will do,) straight metal comb, and a warm, wet cloth. These are the tools you would need to groom your pet on a daily basis (for puppies) or on an every-other-day basis (for adult Shih Tzu pets.)
You would also need: a pet nail filer, doggy shampoo, doggy conditioner for long haired pets, and a blow dryer. These would be perfect for the infrequent baths your canine companion would be taking. Lastly, you should only buy a pair of trimming scissors if you have no intention of entering your pet in dog breed standard competitions or in case your pet is prone to matting.
2. If you are not sure as to what kind of canine grooming brush you should buy for your pet, you might want to follow this guideline: (comb) blades are for short-trimmed dogs, while 30 blades with a 1 comb is for long-haired pets. Dogs prone to matting and tangles would benefit from the use of five f or seven F blades. These aforementioned blades are available in most high-end pet shops. However, a long-toothed metal doggy comb should work fine as well.
One more thing to remember when it comes to grooming Shih Tzus: never try to brush out the tangles in your dog’s coat with a comb or brush. This is not only very painful for your Shih Tzu, but pulling on the tangles can also lead to skin tears and other doggy skin. Untangle the knots gently by hand first and then comb through. If matting is already present, then you need to cut away the matted fur using trimming scissors.
