Royal Canin knows what makes your Shih Tzu puppy magnificent is in the details. While they may be small, Shih Tzu puppies have big nutritional needs. They can benefit from the right growth formula to help provide immune system support, skin and coat health, and digestive care as they take on puppyhood.

An exclusive complex of nutrients reinforces the skin barrier to maintain your Shih Tzu skin health. EPA, DHA, and vitamin A help promote the growth of a long coat. And to support your puppy digestive system, high-quality proteins and prebiotics help promote optimal stool quality. Once your Shih Tzu puppy is over 10 months old, transition them to Royal Canin Shih Tzu Adult dog food for precise nutrition into their adult years.

HUFT Tip: It is important to feed your pet highly nutritious food from early on. Rottweilers tend to develop hip and joint problems as they age and so, it is important to strengthen these aspects early on and keep your pet on a diet to strengthen their joints and bones.
