The tiny Shih Tzu is one of the world's smallest dog breeds, making it a popular but largely indoors-based companion. The Shih Tzu is renowned as a friendly, independent and robust dog with outstanding hearing and a long coat that requires special care. Shih Tzus need a food that targets their specific requirements, such as Royal Canin Shih Tzu Adult. For instance, kibble should be sized in accordance with their tiny jaws and teeth.
Royal Canin Shih Tzu is suitable for adult dogs from ten months:
- 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

Royal Canin Shih Tzu is a dry dog food for adult Shih Tzus with a recipe specially adapted to the breed's nutritional requirements.
