Shih Tzu Grooming tip
1.
Take the hair for the topknot from above the nose and eye. Be careful to not
draw up any beyond the outer corner of each
eye or back of the
ears. If the Shih Tzu’s head is small, take up less and make a narrow topknot.
When you place a band be
careful to not place it too tight. The
skin can become sore and the Shih Tzu will most likely attempt to scratch it
all out.
2. If the Shih Tzu is very heavily coated you may need to use more
than one band to hold up the topknot.
After grooming your Shih Tzu sit back
and enjoy the sight. The Shih Tzu is stunningly beautiful and gorgeous and
wonderful right after a groom. Take your pictures quickly.
If you
are careful about how you introduce grooming as well as how pleasant you make
subsequent grooms your Shih Tzu
will come to enjoy the
attention.
And what about stain…..well I do believe I have a method here
that will help you tremendously in removing the yellowish
stains
from your Shih Tzu’s face. Follow the steps below and see if they work for you
and your particular Shih Tzu:
1. Mix two cups corn starch with one cup boric
acid.
2. Store the mixture in a container.
3. Use this mixture on the
facial hair twice a day after washing and drying it.
4. Tie the facial hair
into “ponytail” like sections with groomer bands.
5. Use a small cosmetic
brush to brush on the mixture.
6. Bath your Shih Tzu every three days.
Fifteen minutes before bathing, wet the face and put two tablespoons of #1 All
Systems White Lightening on the facial hair. Work it in thoroughly.
Do not get it into the eyes.
7. Allow the #1 All Systems White Lightening to
remain on the facial hair for 15 minutes. Rinse very thoroughly.
8.
Start bathing the Shih Tzu. Before shampooing the Shih Tzu’s body, shampoo the
face with Biogroom or Ring 5
Whitening Shampoo. These two brands
are tearless. The better choice is the #1 All Systems Professional Whitening
Shampoo, but this shampoo is not tearless. If you think you might
get the shampoo into your Shih Tzu’s eyes, use the
tearless
brands.
9. After one month or more the face should become very
white.
Enjoy, enjoy, and enjoy, that wonderful white face on your Shih
Tzu!
Bathing
Show dog Shih Tzu are bathed more frequently than one might
think. Not only are most of them bathed weekly, whether they
need
it or not, show dogs are bathed before every show. So much washing surely takes
out most of the natural oils from a
Shih Tzu’s coat. They require
much more use of conditioning products as well. The pet Shih Tzu needs to bath
weekly if this
is tolerable for his particular coat texture, but
more preferably, bi-weekly would be a better schedule. Too much bathing
will definitely dry out the skin. And of course you will want to bath
your Shih Tzu in times of emergency like getting out in
the rain
and mud or snow, etc.
And so this concludes the series of Life with the Shih
Tzu, which does require faithful brushing and grooming. Of course,
life with the Shih Tzu has many more advantages and positive
experiences. I just wanted to emphasize in this series of
articles
that grooming is of utmost importance in Life with the Shih
Tzu.
