Just like us, dogs have allergies, sometimes you can see them scratch and rub their bodies all over the place. That may be a sign they are having some allergies and itching. This is a great cream we use on our dogs usually in the spring when their allergies tend to pop up!

Grooming Clipper Kit for Beginners:
After your Shih Tzu is bigger you may want to take on the brave decision of grooming! LOL If you do, these are the clippers I first started out using. If you decide to have a groomer do them, you will not need these.
Also as a side note, My daughter, son and I groom doggies and we only charge 30$ for a clean up groom. Something to consider going forward.

Lixit Bottle and Tube Cleaning Brush
Make sure you clean out your water bottles at least once a week. Hot water and dial soap is perfect to use. Make sure you get all the soap out before refilling your bottle for the puppy to drink. They could get very sick drinking soapy water.

They do leak a little bit, but a tip is to make sure you fill them to the brim with water, then flip them over and have your pup immediately start drinking from it. That will help with leakage.
I have about 12 of these bottles in my house. The pups do not drink out of water bowls at our home, you can move them over to bowls, just teach them and watch them. I prefer the bottles, just because they don't make huge messes and their beards and face stay cleaner and do not smell.

If you find your puppies are ripping up their pee pads (Which most do!) you will need to get a pee pad holder. This little bad boy below has been a life saver for me on more occasions then I can count.
I use them in your puppies kennel area from the time they are about 4 weeks old until they day they go home with you.

Puppy Pee Pads!
This is the best invention ever. I LOVE these things. They are a life saver when potty training. I have also found that puppies love to and think it is so much fun to rip these up! So, I found this awesome little pee pad holder at Pet Co. Now when I place it in there and connect the latches they cannot rip it up! So, you can see the pee marks on it too. They use it and love it. It makes me happy!

Pet Republique Dog Toothbrush Series Cat and Dog Finger Toothbrush, Handle Toothbrushes, Toothpaste for Dogs, Cats, and Most Pets
Every puppy needs good chew toys. You need to help them through their teething process. They will be getting in their adult teeth when they live with you. You may even find teeth on the floor or stuck in their toys. Do not worry about it, it is totally normal. I even had a lady who adopted one puppy from me save the tooth in her doggy scrapbook! So cute! Every dog needs their teeth brushed. This is the simplest way I have found to do that. This is the Finger Tooth Brush. I LOVE IT! It is really hard to try and brush your dog’s teeth with a long stick tooth brush. They DO NOT like it! BUT they like to chew on your fingers as you will soon find out, so you place the finger brush on your finger stick some beef smelling paste on it and it is so easy!

Zymox Otic Pet Ear Treatment with Hydrocortisone – sold on Amazon.com for around 18.40$
Ear cleaning solution. Sometimes puppies can get ear infections. So this is a good thing to use to help prevent that. Usually I wash my dogs once a week. I just don't like that "Dog" smell and so I will give them a nice bath usually every Friday. Before I do that, I will clean their Anal glands and then clean their ears as well. All you do is just squirt some in the ear, rub it around and around then take a cloth and wipe it out. Also, the hair in the ears is very fine. You can just pull it straight out. It is very simple, you just grab the hair with your thumb and fingers and pull it out. It does not hurt them at all. This will also help to prevent ear infections and to keep the ears clean.

Superfood Dog Treats with Organic Moringa, All Natural Dog Multivitamin + Minerals Antioxidants Omega 3 6, Supports Overall Health, Digestive & Immune System, Hip & Joint, Skin & Coat, Made in USA
Just like you and me, your dog needs a multi-vitamin. You can try and get them to eat them plain, sometimes they won’t, so wrap it in some meat and they will not know the difference. 4 of my dogs will eat this plain. It does smell like a puppy treat, so that is good as well. The others I just wrap it in meat.

ForBid Stop Stool Eating
Now, this is kind of gross, so brace yourselves! Shih Tzu's do have a tendency to eat their own poops. Now, my husband calls it a gift, not having to clean up after a dog because they do it themselves. He will ask them sometimes how their "scooby snack" was... so gross... I however think it is super nasty, so I asked my Vet Dr. Anderson what I could do about this. H
Dr Anderson told me to try this little powder. It comes in packets and you sprinkle 1/4 of the packet on their food twice a day. It makes their poop taste "gross" if you can imagine ever it being yummy in the first place!! UGH! Sometimes they will not want to eat the powder on the food, so I will sprinkle it on a piece of Deli Turkey and wrap it up and feed it to them. This way I am sure to get it down the hatch. It usually take 2-3 days to stop the nasty "Scooby Snack" eating
And! If this does not work, please try Fresh Pineapple, it is suppose to make it taste gross. LOL Good luck!

This is a backpack we wear when we go on long trips, Minnie enjoyed this while we visited the Grand Canyon in 2017. I really like how it is made and the stylish colors. It is super cute. It is around 16$ and I would get a large for 12-15 pounds.

PUPPIA Authentic Vivien Pet Harness
I absolutely LOVE this Harness, I have them in all colors. They are the best, I suggest getting them in a medium for full grown, you can start out with a small too. Minnie when I first got hers was an x-s and then I got a S and now a medium fits just right. Larger dogs, that over 12 pounds I would say get a Large. But, the great thing about Amazon, you can order it and if it does not fit, send it back and get the right size. I just love Amazon.. I am a little obsessed. lol! It is about 26$ not to bad!

Two Bark Training Collars
If you are having issues with your dog barking and have tried everything from closing their mouth with your fingers and saying NO barks! To the water bottle squirts, this is the next step... this barking collar is amazing... I have literally tried everything with Simba, he is the man of the house - many sister wives... ha ha and he has to tell everyone who walks by that this is house and he rules it. So, I found this and the loud beeping sound has made him quiet right down.. I have not had to use the zapping part at all! I love it, we have had it for about a month and it is literally the best thing I have found. I wish I would have tried this earlier. It is awesome!

I have gotten so good at the technique the pups do not cry out and they never bleed. I have been doing this for almost 12 years so I am pretty good at it. If you guys need help or have questions you can always reach out to me.

PetAg Esbilac Puppy Milk Replacer Powder, 28-Ounce
This is also for your breeders or adoptive families that feel like your puppy needs a little more than dog food. I love this puppy formula. I have known some breeders who make their own formula but some of them have had issues, puppies getting sick, some dying... SO I prefer to get what my Vet Dr. Ross Anderson suggested and this is the stuff. I love it and use it every litter to help supplement so the pups do not take too much from the moms.

Evenflo Position and Lock Wood Gate

Pet Soft Fashion Cotton Demin Jeans Pet Disposable Diaper Cowboy Style Puppy Dog Diaper,XS—XL – size extra small
LOVE these diapers!
They are great for when we are potty training and on the move. I have taken my Minnie out to Orthodontist appointments for my son or down to Moms for Sunday dinner and we put these on in case of accidents. Because let’s face it, potty training is hard enough at home and then if you leave to an unknown environment they get even more confused. So these diapers are great to have on hand. AND they are cute too!
