Puppy-proof environment :

 

A Shih Tzu puppy will put anything in their mouth that they can get a hold of. Be sure and clear any area that it will have access to of any potential hazards it might get into such as cords, plants, coins, roach or rat poisons or traps etc. Please, cover all bases. You do not want a puppy to swallow a penny or dime or the like, this can mean death. Do not use hard hair bows in your puppy’s hair. They will pull them out and are subject to swallow them. If you provide any type of rawhide, be sure it is large and supervise your pet with it.  These can present a choke or blockage hazard.

 

DO NOT allow your Shih Tzu puppy/dog access to floors/grounds/yards/parks, that there is even the possibility of having been treated with poisons, chemicals, fertilizers, ant killers etc... Toxicants and small puppies or even dogs do not mix. Products that are put on carpet (such as deodorizers) or the carpet itself can cause some Shih Tzu puppies/dogs to react so be aware of that and prepared to act accordingly.  NO dog parks.  That is like bringing your dog into the most ill of dog societies.  Whatever is there can be picked up and brought home.  There are alternative outdoor places to enjoy.  Select yours cautiously. Be sure any grounds your dog has access to is free of any mushrooms, this is of utmost importance! Digesting poisoned mushrooms will likely cause

death.
