I own a Shih Tzu mix and her coat is quite long too. What I do is I'll brush her coat throughly everyday to remove mat especially at her legs which are easily matted. But she doesn't like me to do a topknot on her head. Now her eyes are covered by the hair and I thought of sending her for grooming/ trimming next week.

if it is within your budget, i suggest you take her to get groomed and you maintain her hair length from there.. reason being, if you continue to let her hair mat further, it could lead to skin diesease, fleas/mites which would cost you more to treat..
Before you bring her to a professional groomer, make sure she is up to date on her vaccinations and also look around for a groomer you are comfrotable with and has a clean establishment..
if the mat is not so bad, you could get someone to pin her down and cut the mats off..may look ugly but it is better for your dog..

I think you should all go back to your shih tzu breeder and ask him/her to teach you how to groom. i think ONLY VERY IRRESPONSIBLE shih tzu breeders sell shih tzu without teaching grooming!
They should teach you how to groom and should agree to groom the dog for free at least once or twice after leaving their homes!

My dog tends to snap at my hands whenever I try to groom her. Any idea how I can make her more relax and enjoy the gromming session.
Another things is I've been having her for 7 months but until now she still won't let me clean her ear. I can only moist the facial cotton and wipe her ear but she doesn't have problem when I send her for grooming. How I can train her to let me clean her ear? By the way, my dog is a shih tzu mix. Thanks.

hi,
my shitzu face is very dirty exspecially below her eye. i try to clean it with wet cloth but does not work. the stain makes her look unpretty which make me upset. i was thinking to bring her to grooming center next week or maybe let the professional bath for her. do you think she will be princess again??? she is white in color.
and how should i maintain it??
lex what ever you do, do it well. when you in the grave, there is nothing more you can do. peace n love

That dirty stain below her eyes are caused by her tear stain.
I think if you constantly wipe her tears that flow down below her eyes will help to prevent the stain to become worse.
Going for grooming, mostly will cut off the fur part and clear the dirty stain. But for prevenntion you can follow as above. There are tear stain product to be use too. Check it out in any petshop.
Just wondering, does it smells? Regards Lisa

eat PPOOO?!!! Gosh, you've i think no matter what sort of shampoo you use, the results will be the same smell... you can start training your dog to let her know that they are NOT ALLOWED to do so. The next time you see her going near her poo, give her a good wack with a roll up newspaper ONCE and she should learn her lesson.. everytime she goes away from her Poo, praise her and give her a treat

No offense but if i were you, i would really wack my dog with a rolled up newspaper... i mean if you use newspaper it's really only the sound.. not so much of hurting your doggie... give her one time, she will think twice.... or everytime she goes near, you say 'NO' loudly and she will know. Other than that, i really don't know how to help you.
