Review of The Essential Shih Tzu Guide

I just read my copy of "The Essential ShihTzu Guide" and wanted to give my followers a quick review.

The Essential Shih Tzu Guide is a 153 page handbook on Shih Tzu care that has everything а ShihTzu owner needs tο know in order to hаνе a healthy, happy, аnԁ well behaved Shih Tzu.

First things first, I picked up the guide in an eBook format which was extremely convenient because I was able to read it on my computer and even send a copy of it to my iPad to read on the go.

There was really a lot of good stuf.


It started with a chapter on the common traits of the ShihTzu breed and some tips on how to determine if the Shih Tzu is a good breed for your family. Then it went on to talk about how to pick the best pup from a litter - lots of stuff here I didn't know.

As far as ShihTzu health, there is a chapter on what to feed him and more importantly what NOT to feed him. My ShihTzu is a constant "licker" - licking herself nonstop and the book makes me think that this might be a food allergy. i'm definitely going to explore the food recommendations!

One of my favorite sections (and the main reason I want this on my iPad) is the section on grooming. The book insists that you can do all Shihtzu grooming at home and save tons of money that you would ordinarily give to a groomer.

In summary, there is a ton of good information here and it was well worth the $14.77 that I paid for it - heck the pictures were adorable and worth that much but I know i'll save several hundred on grooming appointments because of what I read.

So I guess the Essential Shihtzu Guide gets a thumbs up (or a paws up haha). Check it out for yourself on the Essential Shihtzu Guide website.
