Wah.... a new shih tzu owner.... I have 4 dogs and one of them is a shih tzu, a 10 year old male hahahah.... It is best that you continue the diet till she reaches 7 months.... Personally, I still think a puppy should continue eating the dogfood till 7 months and then start eating some cooked and raw food....... my dogs are now on 70% cooked and 30% raw food..... Ear drops are necessary for cleaning the ears once a week.... don't use water coz it may contain bacteria.... the ear drops are sterile and much gentler than water..... She will get her heat maybe around 7 or 8 months, depending on her hormones lah... some dogs differ a bit...... you will notice her trying to clean her parts and later see some stains on the floor and on her fur around her area.... Get things from breeder like vaccination records, details about the sire and dam(health) and any allergies or food that should be avoided... Grooming is easy for a puppy, just buy a metal tooth comb and comb her knots out everyday..... for bathing, use baby tearless shampoo if you are planning to wash the face area.... Willy, my beloved shih tzu (22 March 1994- 8 August 2005) May you rest and live happily in Rainbow Bridge with the rest. You will forever be deeply missed by all. Puppies and kittens, helpless and innocent are always roaming the streets as strays. Adopt from animal shelthers to save them. THEY NEED YOUR HELP AND LOVE
