Personality and Temperament

The Shih Tzu’s personality is as warm as its appearance. These little dogs are full of love, charm, and loyalty. They are happiest when surrounded by their families and love to cuddle, play, and be the center of attention.

Key Personality Traits:

• Gentle and affectionate

• Great with children and other pets

• Intelligent and eager to please

• Calm indoors with bursts of playfulness

• Adaptable to apartment and villa living

Shih Tzus are not only loyal companions but also excellent emotional support pets. Their gentle nature makes them ideal for all age groups, from children to seniors.

Diet and Nutrition

Proper nutrition is key to maintaining your Shih Tzu’s silky coat, healthy skin, and strong immune system.

Recommended Diet:

• High-quality small-breed puppy food

• Lean protein (chicken, lamb, or fish) for muscle health

• Omega fatty acids for coat shine

• Fiber-rich vegetables and fruits for digestion

Feed 2 3 small meals per day, and ensure they have fresh water at all times. Avoid overfeeding, as Shih Tzus can gain weight easily due to their small size.

Grooming and Care

The Shih Tzu’s signature long coat requires regular grooming to stay tangle-free and glossy.

Grooming Tips:

• Brush daily or at least 3 4 times per week

• Bathe once every 3 4 weeks with mild dog shampoo

• Trim the coat or opt for a “puppy cut” for easier maintenance

• Clean eyes and ears regularly

• Brush teeth and trim nails weekly

Their beautiful coat and minimal shedding make them a top choice for families who value both elegance and cleanliness.

Adaptability to Dubai Lifestyle

The Shih Tzu’s adaptable nature makes it perfect for Dubai’s urban lifestyle. They are comfortable living in apartments, enjoy cool indoor environments, and love short walks in the early morning or evening.

Their small size and friendly personality make them great for Dubai’s pet-friendly communities. Whether relaxing in your home or joining you for a gentle stroll, Shih Tzus bring joy and comfort wherever they go.

Training and Behavior

Shih Tzus are bright and eager to learn. They respond best to gentle, positive training with lots of praise and rewards. Early socialization helps them grow into confident and well-mannered adults.

Training Tips:

• Start training early using consistent commands

• Keep sessions short and positive

• Use treats and verbal praise

• Socialize with other pets and people regularly

They are naturally well-behaved and rarely show aggression, making them ideal for first-time dog owners.
