Shih Tzus have a long, flowing coat that can easily trap dirt, oils, and tangles, and their skin can be sensitive underneath all that fluff. That is why human shampoo is not a great choice. Shampoos made for people can strip your Shih Tzu’s natural oils and leave the skin dry and itchy, while also making the coat feel dull, frizzy, and harder to manage.

For a cleaner, softer finish, reach for a dog-specific, pH-balanced shampoo and rinse thoroughly, then follow with conditioner to help smooth the coat and reduce tangles. Ready to upgrade bath day? Shop our dog shampoo and dog conditioner collections for formulas made with dogs in mind.
