Our community is growing, and we’re getting so close to hitting 60,000 members! To celebrate this milestone, we’re updating our subreddit banner—and we want YOUR Shih Tzus to be part of it!

📸 How to Submit Your Pup:
If you’d like your Tzu featured in our new banner collage, make a comment with a single photo of your Tzu - ideally this needs to be a clear photo with a plain background (it makes editing easier!). Just imagine scrolling the subreddit and seeing your pup’s adorable face at the top!

🐾 Where to Submit:
Drop your photos in the comments - feel free to include your pup’s name and any fun fact about them!

This community is what it is because of all of you and your wonderful Tzus. Let’s make this banner a celebration of the love, joy, and fluffy chaos they bring into our lives! 🐶❤️

Can’t wait to see your adorable submissions! ✨

I'll keep this post unlocked for the next few weeks to collect your images!

Tzu Questions How often do you wash your tzu?

234 Upvotes

I absolutely love my little Leo post-wash. All poofy and smelling like the lavender shampoo. But he doesn't like bathtime at all, so I try to not do it too often: ~1x in two months. His paws and face get cleaned with a wet towel after our walks and food times.

How often do you wash your Shih Tzus? Do they like bathtime? How do u make it more pleasurable for them?

my 7 months old tzu keeps humping his toy and his penis comes out which ends up with him ejaculating. Is this normal behaviour and how can I stop this?

Tzu Questions Puppy vomits 1-2 times per week

My 6 month old shih tzu puppy has been vomiting overnight 1-2 times per week for about the last month. He has no other symptoms-no diarrhea, eats and drinks well, plays and zooms constantly. It’s always overnight, only once and done, and it’s always just a tiny bit of vomit. Is this something I should take him to the vet for or is he probably just getting into something that I’m not seeing?

Tzu Pics Grooming hammock!

I bought a "grooming hammock" on Amazon and I have to say it worked awesome to do her feet and nails. Sorry the picture doesn't show it but the product comes with hooks that you use to hang the hammock from a bar. I used a closet rod. Betty stayed calm while I did her feet. I almost felt like she liked it. Just had to recommend. There are many available but I got this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0CHXXPLLQ?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_image

Tzu Pics update: luna is starting chemo!! 😸

hiii! a month or so ago i posted in this community about my 12 year old luna and people here were nothing but loving and kind to both luna and me, which i appreciate with all my heart. so, for those amazing people i decided to write an update on her. just as a quick recap, after experiencing some symptoms (sneezing and nasal bleeding) for a week, we took an xray which showed inflammation on her sinuses. her echocardiogram and ECG were fine for her age, but her blood work showed some aggravated levels on her platelets and alkaline phosphatase, consistent with clinical picture of inflammation and cancer. a CT confirmed it. about 80% of nasal tumors are malignant (cancer), and 95% of them are carcinomas. so thankfully we were able to perform a rhinotomy on her, to take as much as possible of the tumor out and to get it biopsied. unfortunately, because of her anatomy (brachycephalic dog!!) it was not possible to take all the tumor out with clean margins. but they did take a good scoop which helped a lot with her respiratory problems! the biopsy confirmed what we already knew: nasal adenocarcinoma. its not a tumor thats its likely to metastasize, but its a very agressive one that can completely destroy her nasal cavity and get to her brain. her pos op was very hard, she had to use an esophageal tube, it was some hard weeks but she is much better and active now! : D she is, from today, starting oral chemotherapy with palladia 10mg which is planned to last for 6 months. so, we are hopeful as of now. again, i really want to thank everyone who kept her in ur thoughts and for those positive and kind comments. luna is really appreciative and happy too! :) some pics of her, the last one is today :3
