Suitable for Shih Tzus up to 10 months old, ROYAL CANIN® Shih Tzu Puppy is specially formulated with all the nutritional needs of your puppy in mind.
ROYAL CANIN® Shih Tzu Puppy helps support your puppy’s immune system, thanks particularly to a patented complex of antioxidants, including vitamin E. ROYAL CANIN® Shih Tzu Puppy also contains vitamin A, EPA & DPA, and an enrichment of borage oil to help support the skin’s “barrier” role to help maintain skin health and nourish the coat. What’s more, ROYAL CANIN® Shih Tzu Puppy contains a combination of nutrients with high quality protein and prebiotics to support digestive health and help maintain a healthy balance of intestinal flora, which also contributes to good stool quality.
The exclusive kibble in ROYAL CANIN® Shih Tzu Puppy is specially designed for this breed’s brachycephalic jaws, allowing your Shih Tzu puppy to easily pick its kibble up while simultaneously encouraging your puppy to chew.

Formulated for Shih Tzus
ROYAL CANIN® Shih Tzu Adult Dry Dog Food is designed exclusively for pure breed Shih Tzus over 10-months of age.
Healthy skin: Appropriate food is important in maintaining healthy skin. ROYAL CANIN® Shih Tzu Adult Dry Dog Food helps support the skin's role as a barrier with a tailored nutrient profile, and helps maintain skin and coat health with added EPA and DHA.
Coat health: Shih Tzus' coat is known for its continuous growth and natural softness, so this breed specific formula is enriched with Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA), Omega-6 fatty acids and biotin to help maintain a healthy coat.
Stool & odour reduction: This formula helps reduce faecal smell and volume supporting healthy digestion with highly digestible proteins, an appropriate fibre content and high-quality carbohydrate sources.
Exclusive Kibble: Shih Tzus have a round head that is broader than it is long. ROYAL CANIN® Shih Tzu Adult Dry Dog Food kibble is designed to be easier for them to pick up and helps encourage chewing.
Why Pure Breed Dogs Need Tailored Nutrition
From their personalities to their distinctive physiologies, pure breed dogs have unique characteristics that make them sought-after and beloved companions. When choosing a diet for your pet, it's important to keep in mind the unique characteristics of their breed including:
Face and Jaw: All dogs fall into two basic jaw types: Brachycephalic or Mesocephalic. Breeds with short, broad muzzles (like Bulldogs) are examples of a brachycephalic jaw. Breeds with a longer muzzle (like Labrador Retrievers) are examples of mesocephalic breeds. The jaw type, and even biting patterns can affect how a breed picks up kibble. All ROYAL CANIN® breed diets feature a tailor-made kibble shape to meet their unique needs.
Skin Types: The skin's most important function is to serve as a barrier of protection - but not all breeds have the same skin type. From wrinkled and folded (which traps heat and moisture) to sensitive or water resistant, precise levels of key nutrients are included in ROYAL CANIN® breed diets to help support their unique skin health needs.
Distinctive Coats: There's more to a coat than meets the eye. From the colour and texture to undercoats, each pure breed dog has a unique coat with unique needs which are catered for with ROYAL CANIN® breed diets.
