Shih Tzu approved

Upon arrival she sniffed the box like she knew it was for her. Upon opening the box, she sniffed the bag waiting for us to open. She couldn't contain her excitement. Absolutely loved the taste and keeps going back for more and we like that it is formulated for a shih Tzu u as well.

Our shih tzu’s loved it!

Our 5 & 4 year old shih tzu’s really chowed down on their specialized food formula. I liked the nugget style and it’s nice to know it is designed for a shih tzu’s particular needs. I would recommend others to try Royal Canin.

A hit!

My dog is an old guy - he’s set in his ways most days. But, I introduced this food to him and he loved it! I loved that it was Shih Tzu specific! It was definitely tailored to his breed and I saw a change in his digestive health in such a positive way! I would definitely recommend this to other Shih Tzu parents.
