Shih Tzu Dog Breed

Shih Tzu Dog Breed: Temperament, Care, Price & Facts in India

With their royal Chinese heritage and affectionate nature, Shih Tzus make delightful family pets, especially suited for apartment living. These small, friendly dogs thrive on companionship and adapt well to households with children. However, their luxurious coats demand daily grooming (₹1,500-₹3,000/month) to prevent matting, while their flat faces require vigilance against heatstroke and breathing issues. Annual veterinary care (₹5,000-₹10,000) and premium food (₹3,500-₹5,000/month) help maintain their 10-16 year lifespan. Though purchase prices range from ₹12,000-₹75,000 in India depending on lineage, their moderate exercise needs and loyal temperament make them ideal for urban pet parents willing to invest in their specialized care.

Dog Diarrhea: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment Options

Diarrhea in dogs can have many causes. It may be due to dietary changes, infections, parasites, or underlying health issues, and the condition ranges from mild to life-threatening. Watch for symptoms such as loose stools, vomiting, lethargy, or blood in the feces, which may indicate severe conditions like parvovirus, tick fever or poisoning. While mild cases can often be managed at home with fasting, bland diets (such as rice and chicken), and probiotics. Severe or persistent diarrhea (especially in puppies) requires immediate veterinary care, including diagnostics, fluids, and medications like metronidazole. Breeds like Yorkies and German Shepherds are more prone to digestive issues. Prevent Diarrhea by gradual diet changes, regular deworming, and avoiding toxins.
