Shih Tzus, like other brachycephalic (flatfaced) and small dog breeds, can be more susceptible to heatrelated issues and may struggle to handle hot weather or high temperatures. Here are some ways Shih Tzu owners can help their furry friends cope with hot weather:


Provide Adequate Shade and Ventilation:
Ensure your Shih Tzu has access to shaded areas and wellventilated spaces, especially during hot, sunny days. Limit exposure to direct sunlight.


Fresh Water:
Always have fresh, cool water available for your Shih Tzu to drink. Proper hydration is crucial in hot weather to prevent dehydration.
