Some suggest that the Shih Tzu is a cross between the Lhasa Apso, a Tibetan breed, and the Pekingese, a Chinese breed. The Chinese gave the breed the name Shih Tzu Kou, or Tibetan Lion Dog, due to its lion-golden color.  . The Shih Tzu has a very unusual shaped jaw with many of the teeth set in a straight line, which makes it difficult to grasp and chew food. - Kibble size and shape are optimized for unique teeth and jaw characteristics.  . The Shih Tzu has a beautiful coat that needs tender loving care, the laving (flowing) coat being one of the main characteristics of the breed.  . Nourishes Long Coat. Omega 6 & 3 essential fatty acids protect and nourish a long and fragile coat.  . Protects Sensitive Skin. Some Shih Tzu have especially sensitive skin. This sensitivity is explained by the sometimes excessive reaction of the immune system to the presence of allergens such as dust mites and pollen in the environment. Sulfur in amino acids and essential vitamins strengthen the skin's natural barrier function.  . Reduces Tartar. Small breed dogs experience more sensitivity to dental plaque deposits and tartar formation, which can lead to debilitating oral health problems and even loss of teeth. Sodium tripolyphosphate and specialized kibbles help to reduce dental plaque and limit tartar formation.  .
