20 Best Foods for a Picky Shih Tzu
Good to see this thought it was just mine. Very picky but will eat simply Cesar’s. But have to pick out the peas. Does like potatoes. Sweet taters. Hamburger once in awhile. She is 3yrs and still have the first bag of dry food since I’ve had her. She is just super spoiled.

The only thing that works with my shih tzu is, Rawabble chicken (holistic) and Science Diet chicken stew. I’ll add either chicken, pasta, broccoli or a small amount of what we have. She’s always been finicky, I think they all are

I use the dry purina pro plan puppy. My puppy is 10 months. I add green beans and sometimes scrambled eggs. I find she eats better if I put the cooked egg and green beans in the microwave only for 7 seconds She seemed to like the warmth in this cold weather. Also use frozen strawberries for treats. She loves them. Also baby carrots. Trying to make sure she is not going to be overweight.

My shih tzu is 2 years old and I had never found a dog food that she would eat on a regular basis until I tried Fresh Pet, now she cleans her dish out almost everyday. I had tried wet food, dry food, all different brands and she would not eat it.

I cook a variety of meats for mine but it’s usually what we’re eating that day. So if I am making steak she gets one. She also gets veal, lamb, pork, chicken, wild rabbit, grouse, and sometimes deer. Not at all spoiled ETA, she eats Nutrience Subzero, the red bag. I will sometimes crush and sprinkle dried liver treats on this kibble but mostly she eats it as is.

We feed both of ours FreshPet. I use all 4 of the flavors. We use one roll of one flavor and when that roll is used up, we go to another roll of a different flavor. They are picky too, but this seems to be a constant winner. I tried the shredded fresh pet and they got tired of it and wouldn’t eat it. I use just the rolls now. I’ve tried farmers dog and they threw it up, so I cancelled that program. They also like the fresh pet turkey bacon treats.

Rosie is 4 years old and she may eat once or twice a day. One day she will not eat at all. I don’t worry she knows when she is hungry. I feed her in the morning and evening a quarter cup of Wellness brand grain free dog food and top it off with a small amount of Badlands Ranch high protein adult dog food rinse it with warm water. I have it ready for her when she wants it. I reserved so many dog food brands to read what is in the food. So many unhealthy ingredients in high brand names. I had so many fur babies die from kidney problems. I knew I wanted better dog food for her. I guess I’m very picky on what she eats. Rosie loves her food when she wants to eat. Her weight has stayed low around 9lbs 10oz. Rosie is a small Shih Tzu frame. My other Shih Tzu were up in the 16 lbs dog frame. I love this fur baby and I want her to have the best.
