Shih Tzu Puppy  What You Should Know When
Bringing Home A New Puppy

Introduction

• Whether you became awestruck by their bright
  eyes, their silky soft hair, or the tilt of their
  little round faces when they are thinking, a Shih
  Tzu puppy seems to cause the "love at first
  sight" reaction in their human friends.
• Although it is hard to resist scooping up one of
  these adorable little pups and taking him home
  with you, caring for a puppy is more involved
  than caring for an adult dog.
• Whether you've adopted your four-legged
  companion, or bought him from a breeder, it
  doesn't matter you'll still have to plan for
  their arrival.
• Taking time now to plan and get things in order
  will make a big difference in the long run.

Before Bringing Home Your Shih Tzu Puppy

• Puppies, by nature are curious critters, so you
  have to make sure to puppy proof your home, as
  these little angels will often find things in
  their surroundings they will want to chew on.
• Things like shoes, important papers, delicate
  home accents, fabric tablecloths and runners,
  your kids toys, socks, underwear and yes even
  homework.
• Its also a good idea to put things out of his
  reach that may be hazardous to his health, such
  as harmful household or automotive chemicals,
  poisons, houseplants that could pose health
  risks, electric cords anything chocolate and
  other foods toxic to dogs.

Shih Tzu are generally good with children

• Shih Tzu are generally good with children, but
  children should be educated regarding your
  puppys care so that no one, including your
  puppy, gets needlessly hurt.
• Keeping your puppies environment safe and clean
  will do wonders at minimizing potential hazards,
  and will result in less visits to the vets
  office.

What You'll Need For Your Puppy?

• Just like human babies, puppies demand a lot of
  your time and attention.
• So, before you even bring your puppy home, you
  should be sure to have all of the supplies that
  you will need to keep your little one
  clean, groomed, safe, and happy.

About Shih Tzu Food

• Appropriately sized food dish (preferably stainles
  s steel), water bowl and/or a bottle (some Shih
  Tzu puppies do not like putting their faces in
  water bowls, and this also could help to keep
  their face cleaner)
• If your puppy hasn't been weened yet and needs
  to fed by bottle, be sure you have one handy.
• Puppy food and treats (treats will aid in
  training your puppy)

Don't Forget The Trip To The Vet

• Prior to bringing your Shih Tzu puppy home, you
  should arrange for his medical care by selecting
  a veterinarian.
• Get referrals, if possible, and plan to be
  diligent with monitoring your puppys health.
• You may even want to visit the vet beforehand so
  that you are comfortable with the facility and to
  establish a relationship with the staff.

Puppy Behavior Training

• The Shih Tzu puppy is famous for being stubborn.
• But, no worries, eventually, your puppy will stay
  away from Aunt Susies flower pot or that cute
  candlestick in the foyer.
• But it will definitely take training for managing
  your puppys behavior.  And remember he's just a
  puppy, and you'll need to have a lot of patience
  while he's learning how to behave.
• Socializing your puppy is very important so
  gently introduce her to as many new people,
  places and things as possible, and make it a
  positive experience.
• A Shih Tzu puppy makes a great addition to most
  households.
