Most of the Shih Tzu babies that have just been brought home are just weaned. At this time, parents should provide canine-specific milk powder to their Shih Tzu babies. Never use human children's milk powder to fool dogs, because human children's milk powder is made of milk and is not suitable for dogs at all. It will not only cause malnutrition in dogs, but also cause diarrhea.

When the Shih Tzu baby is about 20 days old, parents can try to feed it some thin rice or the like. But be careful not to add thin rice too many times a day. At this time, you should also mainly use dog-specific milk powder. When preparing milk powder for the Shih Tzu baby, the owner must not use boiling water that is too hot. This will destroy the nutrients in the milk powder, and the temperature is too high and may not cool down for a long time, causing the Shih Tzu to become anxious. There is a risk of burns when eating. The milk powder should be prepared with warm water at around 37 degrees Celsius. After the rinse is completed, shake it evenly and then feed it directly to the dog.

But when a Shih Tzu baby is about 50 days old, parents can gradually replace canine milk powder with soaked dog food. Note that when using canine dog food instead of milk powder, parents must not be too anxious. In the early stages, it is recommended to feed dog food soaked in milk powder. When the baby Shih Tzu's intestines and stomach are completely adapted to eating dog food, gradually reduce the number of feedings with milk powder.

Most Shih Tzu babies have weak gastrointestinal functions. Therefore, parents should eat regular meals in small amounts and frequently, and avoid giving Shih Tzu babies hard and irritating human food.
