He was unsure of the big man, but did great overall!

Her name is Winnie she is 2.1 pounds and is super feisty.

Say hi to Bo!

My sweet girl was 16. Healthiest dog you’d ever meet. In the photo she was 15, still always looked like a puppy. She ate poison on a getaway trip we had. Still the worst day of my whole life. It’s been 3 years and I still can barely say her name. I love and miss you sweet girl.

I saw someone posting about their pet humping. My baby is 8 years old female and has only ever jumped one toy for Most of her life. (She has other toys and did "cheat" once after months away from the bear) She seems to be only into this one toy. Is that weird or normal? Is she on love??

We all love the cute photos where our Tzus are nicely groomed and camera ready. But let's be honest - Tzus can also be super awkward, have bad hair days, and be hilariously grumpy - so here's a safe place to showcase those not-so-glamorous photos :) Vote for your favorite!

got him when i was in early elementary school (he was about a year old) and he is my rock. he has puppy energy still and we can't take him anywhere without people stopping to stare at him! he's my perfect little guy and he barked off and chased off a robber from our property one time. he's antisocial, but super clingy to me. he'll just sit there and lick my hand for hours if i don't stop him, even without me petting him. he flies good on airplanes and is so patient. just wanted to share how happy i am to have him.
edit: somehow forgot his name! his name is oreo (it was oreo when we got him and we didn't want to confuse him by changing it) and he's a shih tzu/maltese. we got him via a site similar craigslist for like $200 and we found out later that they were abusing him pretty heavily, as he was terrified of men and. most things in general. i still remember when we went over to their house to pick him up; he was hiding under a table and i crawled underneath it and just sat with him. eventually he let me pet his back and just kinda stared at me. i knew from that moment on he was my boy. he's lived through so much and is still just... my absolute beacon of positivity i love him so much

My shitzu ( who is a year old female, weighs around 9LB ) has been vomiting for nearly the whole day and can’t seem to keep food down. ( she’s been vomiting the food and yellow bile, and now starting with white foam )

Shes either been sleeping or walking around the house laying with family members and we just can’t figure out what’s going on. She’s going to the doctor tomorrow morning but I was just wondering if anyone were to help ease my mind a little

Please someone help

I love playful Peeks 🥰😂

If there was a Shih Tzu Christmas movie, what would it have?

The relationship isn't working out. I love her and primarily take care of her but she technically is his dog so once I move out she won't be with me anymore.

Does anyone have any tips? I'm so sad 😢

He was so cozy!! As long as I don’t have any animals in my bed, my skin is totally clear😄

She’s not really a (Santa’s) lapdog but she’s still on the nice list!

My two favorite boys, Mr Kiyoshi and Toby Bryant

Lu was doing well, finally eating whatever she felt like eating again, taking meds just fine. And today, started puking bile, one was pink the next few were more red.

Back to the vet. Got her in right away. She puked 2 more times at the vet and they got to see firsthand. They did more blood work, are figuring it’s the meloxicam she’s been on for inflammation so they gave her an anti nausea med when they took blood. Now we’re having to stop the meloxicam, start another med to coat her stomach (don’t know the name right now just got home with it) and that’s 3x/day 1hr before she eats 🫠 that’ll be tough.

But, she’s back home with us now and we’ll have a chill weekend of not finishing up anything Christmas related because, how can we even dare to leave her in any capacity. We’d go broke for this dog, we’re just exhausted and want her better. 🤍

Pics are post vet just now > post puking at my parents house. Seems she’s just as fed up as us and wants to be better.

I've had shihtzus before but she has the worst underbite I've ever seen now that her adult teeth are in (6 months). Like a good half inch gap. I keep meaning to schedule a vet visit but we're between vets right now, and the holidays and such.

Hi all! I’ve got my boy Boonie who just turned 13 years old, and I’d like to introduce whole foods in his diet (as I tend to see people doing online). Everything from squash, to anchovies, to fruit such as kiwi and blueberries, and fish oil, people recommend it all! I’ve been noticing his eyesight worsening with age, and his coat (predominantly his white fur) getting finer over time. As a common picky eater, I know it will be difficult getting him to adhere to these dietary changes, but my question lies in the way I give him these new foods. What’s the best way to begin introducing whole foods/vitamins that won’t shock his body and health, and what foods and vitamins do you recommend I begin with? Anything helps! Thank you

Took Kuma in for a tooth extraction that was an old baby tooth, while they were working on it, another baby tooth fell out, and via X-rays, he is missing bunch more teeth! He’s only 10 lbs so I guess his small mouth needs to make concessions, but I’m curious if any of your Tzus are lacking some chompers?

hi everyone! this is Ace. today is his 5th birthday!! i love this little boy so much i can’t even articulate it. light of my life
