Royal Canin Breed Health Nutrition Shih Tzu (WET FOOD)

Product Features:

• Breed-Specific Formula: This wet food is specially formulated for Shih Tzus, taking into account the unique nutritional needs of this breed. Shih Tzus are a small breed with a distinct body structure, coat type, and temperament, which require tailored nutrition to support their overall health.

• Supports Healthy Skin and Coat: Shih Tzus have a long, dense, and luxurious coat that requires extra care. This formula includes omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, as well as biotin, to help promote a healthy, shiny coat and maintain skin health. It also helps to reduce shedding and supports the coat's natural shine.

• Helps Maintain Healthy Weight: The formula contains a balanced level of fat and calories to help Shih Tzus maintain a healthy weight. Due to their small size and relatively low activity levels, it's essential to manage their caloric intake to prevent obesity, a common issue in this breed.

• Supports Digestive Health: Shih Tzus are known to have sensitive stomachs, so this formula includes highly digestible proteins and prebiotics (like FOS) to promote healthy digestion and optimal stool quality.

• Promotes Oral Health: Shih Tzus are prone to dental issues due to their small mouths and crowded teeth. This wet food helps maintain oral health by including nutrients that promote healthy teeth and gums.

• Supports Joint Health: The formula includes glucosamine and chondroitin to support joint health, which is essential for small dog breeds that may be more prone to joint issues as they age.

Key Ingredients:

• Chicken: High-quality protein that provides the essential amino acids necessary for muscle maintenance and overall health.

• Rice: A digestible carbohydrate that provides a steady energy source without putting strain on the digestive system.

• Beet Pulp: A source of fiber that promotes healthy digestion, supports bowel regularity, and reduces the risk of constipation.

• Fish Oil (Omega-3 Fatty Acids - EPA/DHA): These fatty acids help support healthy skin, coat, and joints. Omega-3s are essential for reducing inflammation and supporting cognitive function.

• Prebiotics (FOS): These help nourish beneficial gut bacteria, promoting healthy digestion and improving nutrient absorption.

• Taurine: An essential amino acid that supports heart health, vision, and overall well-being.

• Biotin: A B-vitamin that helps promote a healthy coat and skin, particularly important for Shih Tzus who have a dense, long coat.

• Vitamins (A, D, E, C): These vitamins help support immune health, skin health, and cell protection from oxidative stress, which is crucial for overall health in Shih Tzus.

• Glucosamine & Chondroitin: These joint-supporting compounds help maintain healthy cartilage and joints, particularly important for small breed dogs like Shih Tzus who may be more prone to joint issues as they age.

• Minerals (Calcium, Phosphorus, Magnesium, Potassium): Important for bone health, muscle function, and maintaining electrolyte balance. These minerals also help in maintaining proper metabolic function.

Usage Instructions:

• Feeding Guidelines: The recommended feeding amount depends on your Shih Tzu’s weight, activity level, and metabolism. Below are general feeding guidelines:

  • For a 1-2kg Shih Tzu: Feed approximately 1/2 to 1 pouch per day, divided into 2 meals.

  • For a 3-4kg Shih Tzu: Feed approximately 1 to 1.5 pouches per day, divided into 2 meals.

  • For a 5-6kg Shih Tzu: Feed approximately 1.5 to 2 pouches per day, divided into 2 meals.

  Adjust portions based on your dog’s specific needs. Ensure you're monitoring their weight to prevent obesity.

• Serving: Serve at room temperature for the best taste and texture. Open the pouch and place the food in a clean, shallow bowl. Always provide fresh, clean water alongside the meal.

• Storage: If there are leftovers, store the opened pouch in the refrigerator and use it within 24 hours. Do not leave wet food out for more than 2 hours to avoid bacterial growth.
